I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the members of the committee who are here. First of all I want to introduce a very good friend of mine, a very good friend of agriculture, a very good friend of South Dakota. Forty-five years ago, this man to my left, who is chairman of the great Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, worked 25 miles west of here on a farm, shocking wheat and threshing wheat at how much a day? The CHAIRMAN. Two and one-half dollars. Senator MUNDT. At two and one-half a day, but he is a thrifty southerner and he saved enough money to go to college. He is a great friend of ours. I want you to meet Senator Ellender of Louisiana. [Applause.] From left to right, the way they do in motion pictures, or in a photograph, I will introduce at the extreme left Senator Andy Schoeppel, former Governor of Kansas, and a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture. [Applause.] The next man was born in South Dakota, has a special interest in our State, and is a special friend of South Dakota, Senator Hubert Humphrey, of Minnesota. [Applause.] Next is one who worked together with us on agriculture, one who works most effectively, Senator Milton Young, of North Dakota, [Applause.] The former Governor of Florida, a good friend of agriculture and a very influential member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Senator Holland. [Applause.] And another member of our committee who was born in South Dakota, who is a special friend of our State, who has had long years 923 |
