“Mr. President, I say that to say this: The speech by the distinguished Senator from New Jersey was one of the most thoughtful, most thought provoking, most reasonable speeches that I have heard on any subject, and particularly on the subject matter of the resolution that is before the Senate. One could not listen to Mr. Torricelli without immediately knowing that a great deal of work and thought and agonizing went into that speech. I am going to vote for the amendment that has been offered by Mr. Torricelli because I think it is a needed amendment.”
