“I rose this morning to discuss again that 11 July of 1995 is a disgraceful day in the history of our country because the Commander in Chief down at the White House in a Rose Garden ceremony--I gag on the words a Rose Garden ceremony--is going to extend the honor and the dignity of diplomatic relations to the war criminals, the Communist war criminals, who sit in power, and oppressive power, in Hanoi. The Americans that we left behind in Laos, 499 men shot down, some of them captured on the ground, Special Forces men, performing special operations, they may still be alive. There is no proof that they are not. They may be executed by this deed of infamy in the Rose Garden at midday today. Last night I did a 1-hour special order. I had Robert Strange McNamara's evil book in my hands, this book that the New York Times has on the best seller list. Boggles my mind that people would pay money to read the words of this man who walked off the battlefield in Vietnam, blood dripping from his hands, resigned on February 29, 1968, leap year day of that year, probably a deliberate choice of day.”
