LES ASPIN WAS A FINE PUBLIC SERVANT. HE WAS UNCOMPROMISING AND PRINCIPLED IN EVERYTHING HE DID. AND, HIS EARLY DEATH WAS CERTAINLY A LOSS FOR OUR COUNTRY. LES ASPIN AND I SPENT MUCH OF OUR CAREERS WORKING ON NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES. WHILE OUR EXPERIENCES PRIOR TO HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE WERE DIFFERENT, WE BOTH UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF A STRONG NATIONAL DEFENSE AND THE NEED FOR A COHESIVE NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY. -2- I LEARNED ABOUT THE NEEDS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY IN WORLD WAR II. I WAS LIKE SO MANY OTHER MEN AND WOMEN OF MY GENERATION ... WE SERVED OUR COUNTRY DURING A TIME OF GREAT TROUBLE, SACRIFICED MUCH, AND CAME HOME TO CONTINUE TO SERVE. WE WERE CALLED UPON BY OUR COUNTRY TO DEFEND HER AND OUR WAY OF LIFE. -3- THE YOUNG WOMEN AND MEN CALLED TO SERVE WENT WILLINGLY AND DID SO BRAVELY. WE ALSO REALIZED THAT OUR COUNTRY HAD GIVEN US SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES, THAT WE WANTED TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO HER. I BELIEVE THAT MANY OF US WHO CAME OF AGE DURING THAT TUMULTUOUS TIME HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK SOME OF WHAT WE RECEIVED. -4- NOT EVERYONE HAS HAD THE PRIVILEGE THAT LES AND I HAVE HAD TO SERVE IN THE HOUSE OR THE SENATE, BUT MANY WERE ABLE TO SERVE IN THE WAY THAT WAS BEST SUITED TO THEM: BOY SCOUT LEADERS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, CITY COUNCILMEN, VOLUNTEER FIREMEN.

I don’t do telephonic interviews too much because it’s usually a lot better to do it face to face, but you’re in Colorado, and I’m in Illinois. Right now, the state of Illinois has a 13.5 billion–dollar budget deficit, so I don’t think it’s going to happen except on the telephone. Foster: Well, that’s right.
