Cliff Stearns: “That is why earlier I mentioned that he is a true humanitarian. He makes a statement in his life and in his past…”

On the recordFebruary 5, 1998
That is why earlier I mentioned that he is a true humanitarian. He makes a statement in his life and in his past activities that ``I believe freedom that works; I believe all men and women should have the opportunity to enjoy success,'' and he was just a patriot. He was an individual that was an active proactive individual, with a high level of energy and an enormous intelligence. So I think tonight, that is why you and I felt it so important to come down here, because we were just moved, based on what we had seen in the newspapers today, we thought, by golly, we have got to come down here and talk about, as you pointed out, his participation in this historic march on Washington with Dr. Martin Luther King.
