KENNEDY. This senseless act of violence makes it clear to the committeeand to every Americanthat it is in the public interest to provide protection to major candidates who are daily exposed to the hazards and risks of national political campaigns. May I say. as I read the newspapers carefully with respect to this tragedy. that it might not have been prevented. but there would have been a great chance that his security would be enormously Increased had the provisions of the bill we are now considering provided Senator KENNEDY with the services not only of the Secret Service but also. as the bill provides. the helping hand to the Secret Service of the narcotics agents. the FBI. the immigration inspectors. and other lawenforcement branches. As I read the accounts. the tragedy occurred in the exit going through the hallway to the kitchen. I know the Secret Service and the FBI well enough that if that was the planned exit for the Senator. there would have been surveillance of that particular point.
