President. it was my extreme privilege to serve with Senator HENRY JACKSON during 13 of his 31 years in the Senate. And I can say from personal experience that a man more dedicated to public service never entered these doors. Looking back over the course of his life. people marvel that the same ScooP JACKSON who upbraided Joseph McCarthy and company for their redbaiting tactics also came down harder on the Soviet Union than most Members of this body. particularly where its emigration policies were concerned. But really. when you think about it. in both cases the same principle was at stake. that of individual liberty versus unreasoning official persecution. Principles were what ScooP JACKSON paid allegiance to. not labels.
