“Senator Roth has worked tirelessly on the issue of revisiting that chapter of our history, the attack on Pearl Harbor. Those listening to this debate will recall that Admiral Kimmel was the Navy commander and General Short was the Army commander. There has been a great deal of controversy throughout history as to their role and the degree of culpability they had for the actions that befell our Armed Forces on that day. This is an action of some import being taken by the Senate. I remember a debate on the floor one night in the context of last year's authorization bill when Senator Roth sat right here in this chair for hour upon hour when we debated this issue.”
