Mr. President. I wish to express my astonishment and chagrin at the statement made about Senator DANIEL INOUYE on yesterday. Senator INOUYEs parents were immigrants from Japan. It just so happens that my parents. both of. them. were immigrants from Ireland. But because our parents came to this country. we were given opportunities which otherwise would have been denied us. DAN INOUYE is a great Americanin my book the greatest American in this boay. DAN INOUYE paid for his devotion to this country when in Italy he lost an arm fighting for it. and in losing that arm he gave 7 pounds of flesh in behalf of this Republic which he fought for under the most difficult and dangerous circumstances.
