I had the opportunity today to listen to Senator Harkin speak on the Sutton nomination. I was terribly impressed with his ability to explain to the American public on a very personal basis, as a result of his brother's handicap, why this nomination is so important. I hope all the Senate has the opportunity to see and review Senator Harkin's comments. They were so appropriate and directly on point. Again, the Senator from Iowa, the junior Senator from Iowa is a person of stature who always brings substance to a debate as he did in this instance.
