I must, for the accuracy of the Record, point out that Senator Wallop was not convinced and was one of the four in the committee and one of the nine in the Chamber who decided they could not support this particular approach. But I was very grateful to him for his overall support of my involvement and to the Senator from Arkansas for his leadership and tenacity on this issue.
