Congressmen Praise Slain Senator Kennedy
Area congressmen Rep. John G. Dow and Rep. Joseph Y. Resnick praised Sen. Robert F. Kennedy after his assassination. Dow spoke on the House floor and urged Kennedy to run for president, while Resnick called it an unthinkable tragedy and sent condolences to the Kennedy family. A House motion to adjourn in Kennedy’s memory failed 301 to 69, as lawmakers pressed on with other business including crime control and gun legislation.
