Kay Bailey Hutchison: “let me just say that the Senator from South Carolina, as usual, is right. The people of South Carolina did come and die…”

On the recordMarch 2, 1995
let me just say that the Senator from South Carolina, as usual, is right. The people of South Carolina did come and die at the Alamo. They were very much an important part of the independence of Texas. I want to say that there were people from Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia who also played a major part. I would not be standing here today as the Senator from Texas but for the blood of those great men who migrated from the East and came over and were a very important part of the history of our Nation.
