On the recordMay 1, 1995
April's Commerce Department magazine contains an article entitled ``Commerce Officials Knew Two Congressmen `Back When'.'' As it happens, I am one of the Congressmen. ``Back then'' was Vietnam during the war when Paul London, now Deputy Under Secretary for Economic Affairs at the Department of Commerce, was in charge of a State Department unit involved with economic affairs and I was a young Army lieutenant assigned to the unit. In the article, Paul reflects on a small research project I conducted for him involving the cost of fish in Saigon. It just goes to show that we never really escape the actions we take in this life. At any rate, Mr. President, the piece brought back a great many memories and I am flattered Paul remembered such a small incident after all these years.
