         JOHN GLENN:
	(on Senator Metzenbaum saying he'd never held a job)

         Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn):
         "How can you run for Senate
         when you've never held a real job?"

         Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
         "I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.
         I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions.
         My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different
         occasions. I was in the space program.  It wasn't my
         checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was
         not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the
         daily cash receipts to the bank."

         "I ask you to go with me ... as I went the other day...
         to a veteran's hospital and look those men
         with their mangled bodies .. in the eye, and tell THEM
         they didn't hold a job!

         You go with me to the Space Program at NASA
         and go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans
         of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...
         and you look those kids in the eye and tell them
         that their DADS didn't hold a job.

         You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in
         Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends
         buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch< waving>

         You stand there, and you think about this nation,
         and you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?

         What about you?"


         For those who don't remember .
         During W.W.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney
         representing the Communist Party in the USA.

         Now he's a Senator!

         It might not be a bad idea to keep this circulating.
