On the recordMay 24, 1994
I am not sure the Record can reflect, which it will not, the emotion that was given in the rendition of this speech by the Senator from New Hampshire. I hope that the people of New Hampshire, whoever reads this in the Record and whoever watched it, will understand that we talk a lot on the Senate floor about legislative issues; we raise our voices and become impassioned in what we talk about. But I have been here 8 years and rarely have I heard anyone make a statement with the emotional content of my friend from New Hampshire.
