“I rise this evening having just returned from my home State and a gratifying service in remembrance of a true American patriot. Family, friends, and an entire Nation remembered Barry Goldwater today for his contributions to our country, for his outspoken conservative convictions, indeed for his conservative conscience. Mr. Speaker, we watched as the Goldwater family so eloquently remembered their brother, father, husband, grandfather, for Barry Goldwater was all of these things and yet more. For Arizonians, and indeed for many Americans, it seems that we remember Barry Goldwater as a member of our families giving voice to common sense, conservative ideals; willing at times to stand alone for the courage of his convictions; always foremost in his mind the ideals of freedom and the notions of liberty. Indeed, today in route to the auditorium on the campus of Arizona State University, there were protestors. One can imagine our friend Barry, with that outlook of his saying, 'You know, I don't agree with what these protestors have to say, but I would defend their right to say it.'”
