Political Quotes

“I wish to address an aspect of the Simpson amendment which I am responsible for placing in there. I am going to relate to you a situation that many Americans have already heard about because Paul Harvey talked about this situation. Many Americans read about this in Reader's Digest, in last January's edition. I am going to tell you about an incident that happened in Garden City, ID. There was a construction accident. A trench caved in and it buried a worker. Two people happened to be going by and they heard the commotion; they heard the muffled screams. So they ran to the side of this trench cave-in, and they saw what had taken place. They saw just one inch of the buried victim's head. Of course, he was covered with dirt and debris and was pinned in this trench and could not breathe. So these people that happened to be coming by immediately began to dig the debris from around that individual's head so that he could breathe again. Then that trench began to fill with water. So they rerouted the water so that this individual would not drown until emergency personnel could get there with the appropriate equipment so they could extricate him.”
