Well, I think it was Busbey and Scribner, but I'm not sure. As a matter of fact, I ought to have it here. We've got the debate on the floor of the House which I'll give you.

On June 27th, 1956 John Fogarty got time to bring in the amendment confirming the Senate figures to the House floor. Now, this is a very difficult thing to do, to disagree with your own subcommittee and bring the Senate figures to the floor of the House, because it takes a terrible lot of courage and you can get licked very badly. But he was absolutely as adamant about this this year as he had been indifferent to the situation the year before.

A few days before I had sent word to all the various health organizations, such as Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, the United Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis Society and the National Mental Health Committee, the National Heart Committee to send wires at our expense, if necessary, to everyone in the House urging them to support Fogarty's amendment for medical research in cancer, heart disease, mental illness, arthritis, neurological diseases and blinding eye diseases. Florence Mahoney called up many friends and personally urged them to support Fogarty. I called Celler and, Wolverton and Wolverton was an important Republican and ranking member of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee and said he would support Fogarty. Quinn and Mike Gorman worked hard to see that the Democratic members were on the floor to support John.

At 12:30, noontime, the debate started. Cannon and Taber
