DEATH OF WALTER REUTHER
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, Americans in all walks of life have lost a leader with the tragic death of Walter Reuther, of the United Auto Workers.
He was a leader not only of the millions he served during. his lifetime but also of those who looked to him for an understanding of the creative genius of organized labor.
Walter Reuther was a spokesman for humane programs throughout his lifetime, always working toward bringing dignity into the lives of all men.
His influence stemmed from his intelligence and his innovative approaches. He was never afraid to try.
In these unstable times, his leadership and his wisdom will be sorely missed. We could provide no better tribute to his memory than to continue his valiant efforts.
