very great man, an excellent politician,
and a man of dedication.
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.
