EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY ON DEATH OF THE MOTHER OF SENATOR MUSKIE
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I have just been informed that the mother of the distinguished senior Senator from Maine (Mr. MUSKIE) passed away last night. She was 82 years old. We all know what great pride she had in her son and in her family. We regret that Senator MUSKIE is not with us today, but we fully understand the reason he is in Rumford, Maine, at the present time, where the Muskie family lives.
May I at this time on behalf of the Senate extend to ED and Jane MUSKIE our deepest sympathies and our condolences, and to assure them that while we never got to know ED's mother, we do know she produced an outstanding man in the person of her son who has made many contributions to the betterment of his State, the Nation, and the country.
At this time, I wish to make my personal feelings known, as well as the feelings of the Senate, and to say in conclusion may her soul rest in peace.
