I think you told me he lost his wife.

He lost his wife from cancer, and he feels very much as you do and I do about it. He has indignation of a marvelous kind about the situation. So he's a great ally.

Then of course the greatest possible allies are Senator Hill and Fogarty. Fogarty in the beginning was not an ally, but he became an ally due to a series of circumstances and to the fact that he not only found that the knowledge that should be at hand to help people wasn't at hand but also that it was extremely successful politically for him to run on the fact that he was the leading advocate of medical research. His district in Rhode Island finds this very admirable, and he's practically unbeatable in Rhode Island. He was devoted enough to this cause so that in the last Senatorial election when Pell ran, he gave us his chance of running for the Senate to Pell because he didn't want to lose his seniority in the House Appropriations Committee because he felt he was doing such an important job in the field of health. Now this is quite an ally, isn't it, because he could easily have been elected Senator. Pell had no claim on it at all, and John could have had the nomination.
