Senator Pell. Right. I thank you. It is always particularly nice 

 as a Senator from Rhode Island to welcome a representative of the

 do you, but the difference is ours is unfouled and the Navy anchor is 

 fouled. [Laughter.] 



We are delighted you were here, and the session will now recess 

 until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. We are going to wind up 

 tomorrow at noon, so we seek the 10-minute rule, if any of tomorrow's 

 witnesses are here. My colleague and the senior member of this com- 

 mittee. Senator McNamara's funeral service is at 12 tomorrow and 

 we will not be in session during his funeral service. 



(Whereupon, at 11:55 a.m., the committee recessed to reconvene at 

 10 a.m., on Wednesday, May 4, 1966.)
