as a landing craft officer in the united states navy, senator hatfield witnessed firsthand the battles at iwo jima and okinawa. he was one of the first americans to see the devastating effects of the atomic bombing of hiroshima. later he served in french indo- china where he saw economic disparities that would later lead to war in southeast asia. those images remained with him throughout his life, acting as a touchstone for his belief that the world should be a safer and more peaceful place. it was senator hatfield's belief, those beliefs that served as the foundation for his career in the senate and for his opposition to the vietnam war and to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. so senator hatfield was a major player on the national stage. at the same time he never forgot our home state or strayed very far from his approach of trying to bring people together. i see our friend, senator alexander, on the floor who's also had a lot of experience on natural resources issues. and i can tell my friends on both sides of the aisle, that watching senator hatfield champion the need for family
