tell everybody, tell your friends, tell everybody from sea to shining sea, Mr. Speaker, to get yesterday's Record. Also, there are two other Dornan inserts in there. One is an interview with Dr. Geoffrey Satinover, a psychiatrist, an M.D., Jewish heritage, convert to Catholic Christianity, at one time head of the Carl Jung Foundation. He talks about the horror, terror of young people having homosexuality glorified to them. Then there is another article in here about the debauchery at one of our Federal buildings down the street; a pretty good Record to have, Mr. Speaker, from the 9th. Now I come to this incredible American, this Medal of Honor legend, John Bulkeley. If you are looking for those patriotic films that Ronald Reagan spoke about, look for this one with Robert Montgomery and John Wayne. John Wayne was not yet the top billing in the early 1940's; 'They Were Expendable,' from this book. I had this book and lost it when my family moved in 1943 to New York. It is a 1942 book. I am handling it gently because it is from the treasured collection of George Cox, Jr. 'They were expendable.' It is an easy-to-read book, double-spaced. I read it all the way through last night and went to bed about 4 a.m. It just brought back all my childhood memories. At age 9, right after Bataan, Corregidor, fighting in the North African desert, I read this late in that year, and I will get it back to our Hill legislative assistant, Mr. Cox, in good shape for his dad.

If a Member has read--and, of course, I was talking about this Member--over 10 books, traveled Arkansas, spoken to people, and believes that a high public official was and may still be a cocaine addict, do I not have a right to state that…

For not being a shy, retiring type. But I just saw you do something that makes me feel not limp-wristed, but not as tough as I thought I was, because you challenged the Parliamentarian, and you were right. Our great Speaker up here, the…

Beautifully put. You have actually picked up the theme of the cardinals, to try and win by persuasion. But when you are a fighter pilot, that is hard. Your dad is a fighter pilot. Ask your dad how hard it is to be loving and kind and try…
