Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I as- sociate myself with the remarks made by the able Senator from West Virginia concerning the late James A. Farley. I had the pleasure of being a delegate toe the 1932 Democratic Convention at which Mr. Roosevelt was nominated. Mr. Farley was active, he mad many friends, he organized.a campaign, and he was an unusual political strategist. As he went around the country for some time before that convention, he had a notebook in which he wrote down the names of people he felt would help in that campaign. He later told me it was one of the most valuable things he had ever done in politics. He truly was a great politician, a great man, a great American, and our coun- try has lost an outstanding citizen. Mr. RANDOLPH. I thank my friend from South Carolina.
