PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Schoesler: “Thank you Mr. President. Over the past weekend many of you probably saw in the news the passing of a ninety year old American who was beloved by millions of Americans from coast to coast. I recall my younger days on a old tractor with only AM radio and we didn’t have tape players but every day at noon I could hear Paul Harvey. Every day in the morning. I could hear Paul Harvey’s updates and late in the afternoon. ‘The Rest of the Story.’ The hours of enjoyment that that gave me growing up at work when there weren’t a lot of other choices in radio or talk radio, he was the guy. He was decidedly humorous. He was decidedly on the conservative side but from time to time he did surprise those of us on the conservative side as well as a former President Nixon. He was decidedly conservative, humorous and kept us all informed. I guess the final thing is about Paul Harvey, for those of us that followed him over the years, was ‘The Rest of the Story.’ Paul Harvey got into broadcast work and he didn’t have a very good last name for the radio. Ethic names like Aurandt were difficult for listeners so the middle name Harvey was taken and that’s the rest of the story.”

At 12:02 p.m., on motion of Senator Eide, the Senate was declared to be at ease subject to the call of the President.
EVENING SESSION
The Senate was called to order at 9:06 p.m. by President Owen.
