“again, I think this is the most important vote in the history of my service in the Senate. I worked on this with President Eisenhower. Our people were about ready to go to war. He said in World War II that our ships, our planes, and our tanks must have oil. That will continue on into the future. Opening this area will not give our people oil now but will assure that we have a greater reserve in the future. My last comment is this. In the time I have served here, many people have made commitments to me, and I have never broken a commitment in my life. I make this commitment: People who vote against this today are voting against me, and I will not forget it.”
