“Thank you, David, and especially thank you for the telephone call asking me to get involved in this program. It has really been a fine experience, at least for me, and I hope for the students that were out there. I visited with two other Members from the other side, two colleges, one in North Carolina and one in New York State, and had a wonderful experience with the young people. I think the single strongest impression I had was that it brought to them a new impression of the Congress itself, a closer analysis of the Congress than they get in the daily newspaper or in their texts. The bipartisanship which was displayed with the group, both groups with which I spent time, was outstanding. The Members on the other side and I disagreed on issues, we disagreed and were not disagreeable in front of these students, and took on some pretty tough ones. It was a good experience for us, and, I hope, a good experience for the students.”
