“I had occasion with four distinguished Senators to travel through Vermont. We had Detective Gibson and Officer Chestnut travel with us to ensure our security. They were wonderful and most efficient. In fact, it is not easy to maneuver four Senators around and keep track of them and their spouses and keep them on schedule. We got to feeling closer to them under those circumstances. They were two wonderful men. I feel a certain sadness of the memories connected with that. They were truly wonderful, and their families, of course, we all got to know after this tragedy. They are fantastic people. I echo the comments of the Senators from Maryland in making sure we watch out for them.”
