And we had people who later on were very helpful\nto us, people who might have caused some trouble, such as Senator Hicken-\nlooper, who went along and was very interested in what there was to do,\nbrought his wife, had a good time, got to know everybody, and understood\nit'came before\nthe treaty so that the Senate he went along very\nwell.
