"We have two giants in Washington, DC, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson couldn't be here today. In the Senate, we have this woman who is willing to stand, be it funding or regulatory work. We wouldn't be here without you. Please welcome Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson."
U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson said, "This bridge is something no other city has, and it will define the Dallas skyline.
The arch and the bridge were the beginning steps that will spur the next steps of the Trinity project. I also want to say a special thank you to the Hill family who contributes in so many ways and in honor of their mother, Margaret Hunt Hill."
Finally, Mary McDermott Cook, chair of The Trinity Trust, said, "Thank you, Al, to you, your sisters and your family, for the gift you've given Dallas. Mayor Leppert, thank you for carrying out the vision started by two previous mayors. Kay (Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson), without you, this Trinity Project wouldn't be happening. Now, let's raise our glasses and toast the Margaret Hunt Hill family and this bridge!"
