I told my colleagues before about an experience I had one day that I shall never forget. Some years ago. I ran out of gas in a helicopter. I quickly learned one of the immutable laws of flying: If you are in the air and you run out of fuel. you will land very quickly. I. with a colleague of mine. landed in a helicopter in the jungle terrain between Nicaragua and Honduras. Congressman GEJDENSON. from Connecticut. and I were actually down in a Contra camp. and touring refugee camps in Central America. We were traveling by helicopter one day. It was in August. and there were big thunderstorms.
