On the recordSeptember 19, 1996
for me it is swansong time. I have two suggestions as I take my leave. The first is to my colleagues. Get to know each other and you will like each other. There is a lot to like in every Member of this body. In the words of Edward Wallis Hoch, ``There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it hardly becomes any of us to say very much about the rest of us.'' Say a prayer and do what you can for those unfortunate children of God who are addicted to tobacco and other deadly drugs. They will die before their time or wish they could. As I prepare to yield back the sacred office in which I have been privileged to serve for nearly a third of a century, I wish you all Godspeed. You will remain in my heart and in my prayers forever.
