He continued to work on our behalf. Although he has a longstanding. selfimposed rule against cosponsoring legislation. he broke that rule this year to join in sponsoring the Hawaii omnibus billa transitioxal measure of inestimable importance to Hawaii. In still another instance. he departed from his "no cosponsorship" rule. enthusiastically joining 48 other Members of the Senate in support of a bill to establish an EastWest Cultural Center in Hawaii. which will become an instrument of our national policy to bridge the gap between America and the Asiatic Pacific peoples. What could be more in tune with the aloha spirit than that. It is said that we in the Congress and the people of all these United States will not. after this year. have the benefit of TOM MARTINS long legislative experience. his quiet and effective counsel. and his inspiring dedication to duty.
