Mr. President. I am deeply saddened by the death of Kenneth B. Keating. I wish to address myself for just a few moments to the career of this truly dedicated public servant. His achievements are indeed remarkable. From his tenure in the House during the Truman administration to the U.S. Senate. Kenneth Keating distinguished himself as a champion of civil rights. immigration. and congressional reform. He went on to gain even greater acclaim however. with his farsighted warning of the Soviet missile buildup in Cuba. As Ambassador to India. Mr. Keatings openhearted. openminded manner quickly won the Indians affection. A high government official once remarked. .We consider him a friend beyond question . . . the Americans couldnt have made a better choice.
