Bridges a moment ago, I am supporting the idea of individuals filing their own individual views.

Chairman RUSSELL. Gentleman, I wish to say just one word. This is probably the last formal meeting that we will have in a very historic hearing.

I do wish again—and this is not just being repetitious to express to the members of this committee my appreciation and my admiration for the objective manner in which we have pursued these hearings.

It is nothing short of amazing that when men's emotions have been as deeply stirred as they were by these events, that the hearings should have been so free from bitterness and personalities as these have been. I hope that the long hours that we have spent here will redound to the benefit of the American people, and in preserving the institutions of government that we all love.

Senator HUNT. Mr. Chairman, I should like to ask this joint committee to give favorable consideration to a statement that we all are grateful to the chairman for the able and fair and very splendid, very splendid, manner in which he has conducted these hearings from the very outset, until he made this last general statement.

Chairman RUSSELL. I appreciate that.

Senator SMITH. I would like to second that.

Chairman RUSSELL. I did not make my statement to try to invoke any compliments, but I did it because I feel in my heart that every member of these two committees has measured up to the very best traditions of the Senate.

Chairman CONNALLY. I was going to suggest that I put the motion. All in favor say "aye."

(There was a unanimous expression of "ayes.")

Chairman CONNALLY. Opposed, "no."

(No response.)

Chairman RUSSELL. I thank you, gentlemen, and the committee is now adjourned.

(Whereupon, at 12: 15 the committee adjourned.)
