Let me suggest to the House of Representatives today that when Hunter Scott first came to Washington in pursuit of justice, as my colleagues have heard described here today, that I met the young man at the airport when he first flew in from Florida because of my enduring appreciation for the young man and his good work. And we created a House bill, House bill 3710, that the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Scarborough) and I co-authored, along with other Members of this distinguished body, asking for the relief, especially the memory, of the individuals who were aboard the U.S.S. Indianapolis, a city whom I represent and whom that ship was proudly named for, to try to vindicate in some way before the remaining 12 survivors went to meet their maker.
