On the recordMay 12, 1995
I have good news today, Mr. President. Susie Hamilton underwent 15 hours of surgery yesterday at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, receiving the bone marrow from that German soldier. I am pleased to say early reports are positive, and the prognosis is good. Mr. President, I will be sending a ribbon just like this to the White House today so that President Clinton can affirm to Susie through correspondence that everyone is praying for her speedy and thorough recovery so that we can all affirm that there is always hope where there is prayer, and that truly people all over the world are praying for Susie, and to acknowledge the support of the community of Boise and all of Susie's friends as they rally around a neighbor, which I think is the spirit that does bring about not only hope but the positive results that we want. Mr. President, I thank you.
