CONGRESSIONAL RECORD – SENATE


September 5, 1973


Page 28474


Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, I am sure it is clear to JOHN STENNIS by now why we respect him and love him. I am sure I cannot effectively add to the points that have already been made.


We know him to be a man of conviction, of character, and of conscience. More than that, we know him to be our friend; and above all, as the distinguished Senator from Texas has pointed out, we know him to be a preeminent example of what a Senator ought to be in terms of integrity, a sense of direction, and dedication to the country.


JOHN, I join in this warm welcome to you.
