A large group of Senators were present. including the minority leader and the minority whip. as well as the Vice President of the United States. It is a pleasure to honor David Sarnoff. As he said himself in a very touching speech to us about his own life. "This could happen only in America." He said he thought there was more opportunity today than on the day he arrived in steerage as an immigrant boy of 9 in the port of New York. in 1901. I believe that all of us want to felicitate David Sarnoff. a great American. The name of David Sarnoff is so intertwined with the history and development of electronic communications. that I believe that the editors of our dictionaries before long will feel obliged to add the word "sarnoff" to the English language.
