I regret that you perceive that this bill on the floor falls short of your idea of the goals. But I assure you the group with which I worked did everything we could--and I think we have succeeded, I say in all respects--certainly with regard to the 1949 treaty, which, as you know, was in four parts, and the Common Article 3 to all four of those treaties, preserving this Nation's obligations under that treaty. So while we have our differences, I just wish to conclude that I respect you greatly for the admiration you have for your father, as do I have for my father, who was a doctor during that period.
