"Ray Hunt exemplified the best in America."

"Ray Hunt was a target because as head of the multinational force and observers in the Sinai, he was helping to implement the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel."

"The States and private industry should be fully responsible for financing research necessary to deal with their own particular problems and needs."

"I believe that these State institutes are now at a point where further Federal involvement in their research activities is not necessary."
