Speech #850205606

I believe they lie on the same parallel. I wish to say further that there are no finer people and no stronger people and no more able people than the Scandinavian people. I was delighted to hear the distinguished Senator from New Mexico say on the floor only a short time ago that he is the son of a Swedish immigrant farmer. The great qualities he has demonstrated are typical of the outstanding qualities of the Swedish people. I again wish to congratulate the able Senator from Idaho. whom I have wanted to interrupt 2 or 3 times during the course of his great speech in order to congratulate him on the valuable contribution he is making to Alaskan statehood.
