time of the hearing, they had Stevenson on the stand just ahead of me. And I was the first industry witness to be called. Stevenson came on and was very witty and very charming and read, I think, a telegram that he had received from some constituent in his campaign who criticized him for having pre-empted “I Love Lucy.” And I think there was something about “I love Lucy and you drop dead.” Anyway, it was a very funny thing. I knew I was going to be under severe attack because they had a copy of my statement. The rules in the Senate aren't very fair to witnesses.

He was giving me a rough time -- and I say, “Well, the least you could do is give us a temporary resolution and try this.” And I think he said, although they edited this -- the senators always had the right to change what they've said, because the testimony is edited by them but not by the witnesses. I never found this in the printed text -- but I think what he said was, “This is something we can consider.” A perfectly friendly thing to say. And then immediately I moved in on the temporary resolution because it seemed to me
