It was a long night, Mr. Speaker, when we heard back the reports as the newsWellstone's plane went down around 9AM. Though not in Cambodia.
reports said that a plane has gone down in Ely, Minnesota, and it was thought to
be containing Paul Wellstone and his partner, Sheila Wellstone, and their
daughter and several other campaigners. We hoped all night that what we thought might have happened didn't happen, but at the end of the evening, we learned that that tragedy, in fact, did occur. Our worst fears were confirmed when we learned that we lost him, but it was a long several hours before we realized
that that tragedy had actually occurred, and we had hoped against hope. I will
never forget that night.
