IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO JOIN YOU
THIS EVENING IN SALUTING JACK
DANFORTH.
THOSE OF YOU HERE MAY NOT
REALIZE IT, BUT YOU ARE REALLY
WITNESSING HISTORY TONIGHT. I
CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME WHEN
THIS MANY SENATORS ATTENDED
A DINNER, AND ONLY TWO OF
THEM ARE SPEAKING.

ONE SENATOR WHO COULDN'T
MAKE IT DOWN THIS EVENING IS
STROM THURMOND. SINCE STROM
HOLDS THE RECORD FOR SPEAKING
ON THE SENATE FLOOR FOR 22
HOURS STRAIGHT, HE'S RARELY
INVITED TO SPEAK AT BANQUETS.
HOWEVER, STROM DID ASK ME
TO PASS ALONG TWO THOUGHTS.
FIRST, HE WANTS TO BE INVITED
2
Page 2 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
TO THE ST. LOUIS RAMS TRAINING
CAMP.
AND SECOND, HE STILL CAN'T
IMAGINE WHY SOMEONE AS YOUNG
AS JACK WOULD WANT TO RETIRE
FROM THE SENATE. AND HE SAID
THAT IF JACK CHANGES HIS MIND
IN COMES BACK IN TEN OR TWENTY
YEARS, HE'LL BE THERE TO GREET
HIM.

Page 3 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW
SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN
HERE TONIGHT--REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS ALIKE.
AND IF YOU BROUGHT UP AN
ISSUE OR TWO, WE'D PROBABLY
HAVE SOME DISAGREEMENTS.
BUT THERE IS ONE AREA WHERE I
GUARANTEE YOU WE ALL AGREE.
AND THAT'S THE ADMIRATION AND
4
Page 4 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
RESPECT WE HAVE FOR JACK
DANFORTH.
YOU KNOW HOW I HATE TO
TAKE ISSUE WITH DEMOCRATS--
ESPECIALLY ONE WHO IS A
MISSOURI LEGEND LIKE HARRY
TRUMAN.
BUT I CAN SAY WITHOUT A
DOUBT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMAN
WAS WRONG WHEN HE SAID THAT
5
Page 5 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
"IF YOU WANT A FRIEND IN
WASHINGTON, B ~A DOG."
AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE l'M
JUST ONE OF MANY IN
WASHINGTON WHO KNEW FOR 18
YEARS THAT IF WE NEEDED A
FRIEND, ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS
CALL JACK DANFORTH.
IF YOU WERE TO ASK ANY
SENATOR WHO THEY WOULD TURN
TO IN A TIME OF CRISIS ... WHO
6
Page 6 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THEY WOULD WANT TO PROVIDE
COUNSEL AND FRIENDSHIP WHEN
THE CHIPS WERE DOWN, THE
OVERWHELMING ANSWER WOULD
BE JACK DANFORTH.
BUT BEFORE I GET INTO
TROUBLE, LET ME ADD THAT HARRY
TRUMAN WAS RIGHT MORE OFTEN
THAN HE WAS WRONG. AND HE
WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID THE
FOLLOWING:
7
Page 7 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
"DEMOCRACY IS A MATTER OF
FAITH--A FAITH IN THE SOUL OF
MAN--A FAITH IN HUMAN RIGHTS.
THAT IS THE KIND OF FAITH THAT
MOVES MOUNTAINS."
AND IF THERE'S ONE WORD
THAT CAN BE USED TO DESCRIBE
JACK DANFORTH'S LIFE AND
CAREER IT'S THE WORD "FAITH. II
JACK ALWAYS HAD FAITH THAT
AMERICA AND HER PEOPLE WOULD
8
Page 8 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
BE THERE FOR THOSE IN NEED.
AND WITH INTEGRITY AND
INTELLIGENCE, HE ALWAYS KEPT
FAITH WITH THOSE HE SERVED.
AS QUITE A FEW FOLKS
DISCOVERED IN THIS LAST
ELECTION, SOME POLITICIANS
LEAVE OFFICE BECAUSE THE
VOTERS TELL THEM TO LEAVE.
OTHERS LEAVE BEFORE THE
VOTERS CAN TELL THEM.
9
Page 9 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
BUT FOR JACK, THAT WASN'T
THE CASE. THERE WAS NOT A
DOUBT IN ANY SENATOR'S MIND--
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT--THAT
JACK WOULD HAVE BEEN RE-
ELECTED. IN HIS LAST RACE,
SENATOR DANFORTH WON 68% OF
THE VOTE, WINNING ALL 114
MISSOURI COUNTIES. l'VE RUN
UNOPPOSED BEFORE, AND NOT
DONE THAT WELL.
10
Page 10 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
SENATOR DANFORTH LEFT THE
SENATE BECAUSE HE HAD FAITH
THAT THERE WERE OTHER AVENUES
IN WHICH HE COULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
AND WITH INTERFAITH ACTION
FOR CHILDREN TODAY HE HAS
DONE JUST THAT.
THE GREAT LARRY BIRD ONCE
SAID "I HATE IT WHEN SOMEONE
11
Page 11 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
JUST STANDS BY AND WATCHES IT
GO OUT OF BOUNDS."
HE, OF COURSE, WAS TALKING
ABOUT A BASKETBALL. BUT THE
SAME HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE FOR
JACK DANFORTH WHEN IT COMES
TO AMERICA'S YOUTH.
JACK IS INCAPABLE OF
STANDING BY AND WATCHING OUR
YOUTH GO OUT OF BOUNDS.
12
Page 12 of 41 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
AND BECAUSE OF INTERACT, THE
LIVES OF THE DISADVANTAGED
YOUNG PEOPLE OF ST. LOUIS WILL
BE GREATLY IMPROVED.
THERE'S A FRIEND OF JACK'S
AND MINE WHO WOULD PROBABLY
CALL JACK A "POINT OF LIGHT."
THAT FRIEND, OF COURSE, IS
PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH.
PRESIDENT BUSH COULDN'T BE
HERE THIS EVENING, BUT HE DID
13

SEND A LONG A VIDEO GREETING,
WHICH IT IS MY PLEASURE TO
INTRODUCE.
