Washington, DC - Idaho Senator Mike Crapo issued the following statement today on the passing of former South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond at age 100: "It really is the end of an area for the U.S. Senate because we will never see another like Senator Thurmond. His many decades of work in Washington stand as a testament to those of us in public service. I am fortunate to have served with him in Washington. He will be missed by many in Congress, in South Carolina, and across America."# # #
