“If I may continue, I try to remember great speeches. One of the best speeches I ever heard was made by our colleague from West Virginia when he came to the floor, it must have been about a year and a half ago, and talked, with as much love as he has for his employee who has passed and almost as much love as for his wife, about the beauties of coming to West Virginia on a vacation. It was one of the finest, nicest speeches I ever heard. I will never forget it, and I think this one is going to be just as memorable. I look forward to hearing my friend continue. I thank him for his courtesy.”
