I wish to express my respect for him. He represents the State of Wisconsin so ably. The one aspect I like about this Senator is you never have to worry how he stands on an issue. He is always very forthright and public in his statements. I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Senator. I have also watched how he has been engaged in the international relations of this country. I know how he has been engaged in issues that are important to sometimes only him, but sometimes that is all it takes to focus the attention of the Congress on an issue in which he has been involved. I feel very good in that he is serving on this committee and, in effect, in doing so is also representing me in his efforts to make sure the American public is advised to what is going on in the rest of the world and our Government is involved, as it should be, around the world.
