On the recordJanuary 26, 1996
Sam Nunn is a man of integrity, ability, and dedication. I have been on the Armed Services Committee since 1959, and I was so pleased that he joined the committee when he came to the Senate. He rendered outstanding service as a member of the committee and as chairman of the committee. He is known as an expert on defense matters. Not only in defense; he has done a fine job in every endeavor since he has been in the Senate. This country would be better off today if we had more people like Sam Nunn in the Senate and the House as well as the judicial and executive branches. I am proud of his friendship, proud to have worked with him. He has been a great citizen of America and he has rendered outstanding service of which we can all be proud. Thank you, Mr. President.
