at C of C L Rock Aug 6 '43 JW Sargent Chas Evans [handwritten annotations by Brooks Hays] EXTRACTS FROM ADDRESS BY BROOKS HAYS It may surprise you to learn that I have used only 16 minutes of the speaking time of Congress, and my brief experience in Washington has produced the feeling that speech is not so important as I once thought. I have been trying to figure out why I am less vocal these days and I have concluded that it is the responsibility of an office that makes the difference. Here it is very easy for one without political responsibility to say what is on his mind at any moment; it is/only not easy for an office holder to do so but it may be highly inappropriate - particularly if his judgments have not gone through the maturing processes which critical Father Time imposes. If a politician doesn't have an answer he would do better to admit it than to profess great knowledge.
