“Tomorrow, down in Hampton, GA, a highway will be dedicated to one of our former colleagues, the distinguished former Senator Herman Talmadge. It would be fun to be there tomorrow and see Herman's reaction when the honor is announced at a luncheon in the ballroom of the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Fewer than one-fourth (23) of today's Members of the Senate were here when Senator Talmadge was. Because of that, I have decided to include in the Record an extensive interview with former Senator Talmadge published by The Macon, GA, Telegraph. That newspaper's Randall Savage conducted the interview. Mr. Savage asked good questions and Herman Talmadge gave great answers. His assessment of many things about America reflect the fact that Herman Talmadge still has the good judgment that he possessed while in the Senate. Mr. President, accordingly, I ask unanimous consent that the February 11, 1997, interview, headed ``Hummon'' be printed in the Record.”
