On the recordMarch 25, 1998
last night was a memorable night for this Senator and I believe a number of others in this Chamber. On Tuesday evening, I was honored and humbled to introduce to this body, Senator Mike Mansfield for an address in the old Senate Chamber. This inaugural lecture was the first of what I hope will be a continuing number of addresses for 'The Leader's Lecture Series'. I think I can speak for all Members of this Senate in saying we were honored in having as the first speaker in this series, the longest serving majority leader of this body, Senator Mike Mansfield of Montana. I look forward to future addresses from former Senate leaders and other distinguished Americans in sharing their insights about the Senate's recent history and long-term practices.
