john adams. thomas jefferson. and james madison. henry clay, however, was at or near the top of american political life with little interruption for four decades. from his speakership, to the end of his life, it is difficult to think of any other american political figure who can claim that type of lengthy, prominent career. on the other side of the ledger, clay's record on slavery was complex to say the least. as a younger man he had advocated that kentucky amend its state charter to permit the gradual freeing of slaves. he maintained throughout his life the position that slaves should be freed, despite those noble sentiments, clay himself was a slave owner his entire adult life. to his profound discredit, he did not put his sentiments into action manu mitting all his slaves. the best he could offer was to assist freed slaves in being transferred to west africa. moreover, despite the prescience of clay's american system, he failed to get most of it enacted in his lifetime, although some measures would later be adopted by succeeding

adams was. two all-important lessons of history stand clearly expressed in this, our national capitol. the first is that little consequence is ever accomplished alone. high achievement is nearly always a joint effort. as has been shown again and again in these halls when leaders of the different parties, representatives from different constituencies, and differing points of view have been able for the good of the country to put differences aside and work together. i witnessed this firsthand in 1978 during the senate debate over the panama canal treaty. a measure strongly favored by the carter administration. my book on the canal, "the path between the seas" the result of six years of writing, had been published only the year before. convinced as i was that the treaty was much the wisest course for our country and panama, i volunteered as an independent advocate and i was on hand here on the hill through several months. at times i had the pleasure of hearing my vote quoted on the senate floor and
