MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR WAYNE L. MORSE Proceedings in the Senate MONDAY,July 22,1974. PRAYER The Chaplain, the Reverend Edwd L. R. Elson, D.D., offered the following prayer: Eternal Father, in whom we live and move and have our being, from whom we come and to whom we go at last, in this quiet moment we remember with thanksgiving Thy servantWAYNE MORSE.We thank Thee for the magnitude of his service to the Nation and es- pecially his labors in this body. We thank Thee for the integrity of his manhood, the uniqueness of his witness, and. the power of his speech. We remember with grati- tude his virile intellect, his moral earnestness, his tenacious convic- tions, his forensic skills, his fidelity to high ideals, his loyalties tran- scending faction and party, and his faithfulness as a servant of the common good. May his unique mantle be worn worthily in all generations. Teach us once more that underneath life and death are the ever- lasting arms of the Eternal Shepherd who with goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of this life until we dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Through Him who is the Resurrection and the Life. Amen. Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, I rise with great sadness to an- nounce to the Senate the death of former SenatorWAYNE MORSE of Oregon who passed away this morning at8:10at Portland, Oreg. WAYNE MORSEwas a politician from a very unique mold, and an enigma to many people. When convinced of a position on an issue he was not swayed by political considerations or pressures. His interest was substance. His commitment to issues produced a unique style which was known as the Morse style. {II MEMORIAL ADDRESSES To those of us who for nearly a decade had tried to change U.S. policies in Indochina, Senator MORSE'S early prophecies and his warnings were of such magnitude and of such statesmanlike charac- ter that we all o*eã debt ofgratitudetohith. I would like to express my personal sympathy and that of my family to Mrs. Morse and to the family of Senator WAYNE MORSE onhis passing. He served for 24 years in this body, from i. to ig68, and I know that many who are here today served with him. I will give my own eulogy concerning Senator Moas at a later time, but I did want to share this very sad news, with my colleagues and his.many friends here at this time. ... .. Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I wish to join the distinguished senior Senator 'from' Oregon (Mr. Hatfield) . in expressing. my sense of personal loss in this man who contributed so much. to his State, to the Nation and, in many ways, to the world. He was a man of fierce independence, I'lcnow no one with whom I have served in' this body who was more independent than WAYNE MORSE. He was fearless.. As the distinguished Senator from Oregon (Mr. Hatfield) .said there. was a Morse style, but there was also a Morse formula. I am delighted to note the distinguished Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Proxmire) on the floor, who' has. carried on the initiative shown by the. late Senator 'from. Oregon, WAYNE MORSE, in looking over items to look for escape clauses and to carry on in the tradition of WAYNE MORSE, as he has also, in my opinionand I am speaking of the distinguished Senator' from Wisconsin .
