“Senator Wallace Bennett represented Utah in this Chamber for 24 years. And his death, which occurred during the congressional recess, deprived America of a truly outstanding public servant. Senator Bennett was a person of unimpeachable integrity, tremendous common sense, and a great sense of humor. One of his top concerns during his years in the Senate was ensuring the survival of America's business community. Senator Bennett's experience as head of a family paint and glass company, and as president of the National Association of Manufacturers made it clear to him that all too often, Government rules and regulations prevented business growth and expansion. But there were two things far more important to Senator Bennett than politics or business--his church, and his family. And I know all Senators join with me in extending our condolences to Senator Bennett's family--especially his son, Senator Bob Bennett, who brings the same intelligence and integrity to this Chamber that his father brought before him.”
