Ho never let the roughandtumble world of politics take precedence over simple human decency and courtesy. And. in the unassuming manner which made him so popular to a generation of American theater and movie audiences. Senator Murphy got things done for California. He was an effective advocate for a strong national defense. and he led the search for solutions to the problems that faced Californias migrant farm laborers and the agriculture community. We can also thank Senator Murphy for the fact that those in the gallery can hear what we are saying on the floor. In his last years in the Senate.
