“Oh, the outrage is becoming palpable now. The do-gooders are out there. Pass out the rose-colored glasses, Mr. Chairman. The cold war is over; we are hearing that today. Every American citizen ought to grab up their children, close their doors and take out their weapon, if it has not been taken away every time the do-gooders get out there and start saying the cold war is over, because we know what is coming next, another piece of legislation, another diatribe that we must cut back, cut back, cut back, cut back. Well, the cold war may be over in a formal sense, Mr. Chairman, but there are many very good, productive, positive reasons to deny the do-gooders this latest opportunity to prove to the world that we can be more namby-pamby than some other country somewhere in the world at some point in time. Mr. Chairman, one thing that escapes me in this latest round of do-good-ism that we are hearing today is what these folks think would happen if the School of the Americas were closed and if we then, as they would have us do, then search out every other program in which we provide some sort of training, control over foreign military officers.”
