[email protected]. J Statement of Senator Mike Mansfield (D . , Montana) At the Silver Jubilee Award Dinner of the Interfaith Movement, Inc . Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City, New York Sunday, June 3, 1962, 7:30P.M. We have come together to honor a distinguished member of Interfaith, a distinguished Senator and a friend, Ken Keating. To honor a man is a personal act. Yet, in performing this act, tonight, I believe we are trying to give expression to something greater than our respect and affection for Senator Keat ing. In saying that, no slight is intended and I am sure that Senator Keating would be the first to recognize it. For what I am suggesting is that there are ideals which dwarf each of us as individuals. One of these ideals is that of justice and equality and brotherhood in the human family.
