On the recordDecember 15, 2011
I had not seen those remarks of Mr. Putin, but referring to his last comment, read by Senator McCain, I guess people would go nuts in the setting Senator McCain found himself in the Vietnam war. He probably is perhaps, only in that line, accurate that most people, indeed, could not have survived that experience. I know Senator McCain does not raise this matter, but those of us who work with him appreciate all he has done for this country and for this body. I wish we had a chance to straighten out Mr. Putin about Senator McCain. I don't think we will have that opportunity, but maybe his own people will do so in a free election someday. I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
