On the recordMarch 10, 1994
It has always been a great pleasure, a great exciting adventure in legislating with my friend Malcolm Wallop. Of course he will leave this Chamber at the end of this session to go into other things in life, like many others on both sides of the aisle have done. But one thing about my friend Malcolm Wallop, he is direct, exceedingly articulate, very dedicated, and he has come upon something that is very disturbing to us. It matters not. I do not attribute any of this to Senator Hollings. In fact, Senator Hollings is one of the most knowledgeable people of what the needs are out in the area of his committee jurisdiction. He works with Senator Danforth in a unique way. But Senator Wallop has just spotlighted something which has to be distressing.
