President. and how difficult it is for us to lose him when his rich and able service was only beginning? WILLIS SMITH and the junior Senator from New Jersey were members of the Committee on the Judiciary. It was while on an official visit to the countries of Western Europe as members of the Subcommittee on Immigration that I came to know WILLIS SMITH and his charming wife intimately. We were together in France. Germany. Italy. Switzerland. and England. That trip. during which we studied the refugee situation in Free Europe and the overcrowded conditions which abound there. clearly reflected the differences in approach to several public questions which separated WILLIS SMITH and myself on issues. We differed on immigration questions. and we differed on other policy matters as well. But. Mr. President. there never was a more understanding companion and more able student of government than the WILLIS SMITH who shared the burdens of those tiring journeys with the members of the Immigration Subcommittee. His contributions to the outcome of that mission were many. Always challenging. stimulating. and justhis counsel and advice was both profound and inspiring.
