I did say President Reagan made a point of welcoming the bodies back to this country, 241 of those marines who died in Beirut, and I pointed to the fact that this President, to whom we just said goodbye and who was revered by so many in this country, felt in his heart that it was something he should do. It is so contrary to what is happening now. It does not make sense to me.
