Mr President, on a point of order: normally I do not respond to these rather childish comments that Senator Bartlett makes. The history of this period is that there was a lot of concern in the Senate, including among members of the Democrats, which led to the establishment of this committee. They were not trite comments and they were not foolish comments that people made. The fact is, Senator Bartlett, that you do not understand the history.
