On June 30, 1971, the Senate took time to hear a ‘Tribute to Frank Sinatra’ by former Vice President and Minnesota Senator Huber H. Humphrey and California Senator John V. Tunney. In his opening remarks to his fellow senators, Tunney said, ‘It is a great pleasure to make a few remarks at what I consider to be a very important occasion for the people of California and for the country; namely, the retirement of a man who I consider to be the greatest entertainer the United States has ever had—Frank Sinatra.” The volume includes four pages with a transcription of the full remarks by Tunney, Humphrey, and several other senators.
