Out of that relationship. we were termed by some national magazines as the odd couple. I guess we were the odd couple. Here I am. a Democrat. a fairly liberal voting record. and JACK KEMP. a Republican. a fairly strong conservative record. and we banded together to get the enterprisezone bill. and I say that to the gentleman. because there are many issues that JACK and I were involved in. and I think my colleague. the gentleman from California . is right. whether it be on a question of Soviet Jewry. whether it be on a question of immigration. he was always there. and another part that I always remember was during the debate on the Martin Luther King holiday bill. it was JACK KEMP who led the forces on that side of the aisle to come forward and to support the Martin Luther King holiday. and it is a reality today. I find it most interesting that that is the way this Congress should operate. not based on partisan politics. but what we consider to be right. what we consider to be the right thing to do. and JACK KEMP. to me. has always demonstrated that with me. and I can say this to all of the Members here. that as a Democrat. I can say that JACK KEMP is a person that worries me a little bit. because he is so good. but as a friend. and this is the key. as a friend.
