PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Murray: “Thank you Mr. President. I set on your or I had passed out on your desk an article from this morning’s New York Times about June 11, 1963. June 11, 1963 was a day that George Wallace stood on the school steps but this article in front of us in the stories in the last few days has pointed out that on June 11, 1963 the speech that really over the last several decades has been underestimated has proven to be one of the most important speeches as the New York Times called it in the twentieth century. That night 8:00 p.m. East Coast time President John F. Kennedy went on TV and spoke about civil rights. In many ways as the article reflects his speech echoed themes that would be heard later that summer by Martin Luther King on the mall in Washington. It was the first time a President had gone on record for civil rights introducing a piece of legislation that would become law some months after his assassination. An important day in the history of our country, June 11, 1963. Thank you Mr. President.”

On motion of Senator Fain, the Senate advanced to the fourth order of business.
