Humphrey's Senate return warm
the differing points of view in this
body that could not be reconciled,"
he said.
HUMPHREY was pale and far
thinner than when he last was in
Washington, but he was clearly glad
to be back.
"It's just a joy to be around," he
said.
An aide tried several times to get
Humphrey to move toward the
entrance to the building andl on to his
second-floor office, but the senator
took his time and continued to
answer questions.
"I had a real rough time," he said
when asked about his surgery and the
radiation and chemical treatments
he's been undergoing. "This is a
battle royal. I've had two major
surgical experiences."
THE DOCTORS who have been
treating Humphrey for cancer that
started in his bladder, said in mid-
August that the senator had a large,
inoperable tumor in his abdomen and
that his case is terminal.
But Humphrey, the Democratic
party's "Happy Warrior," the etern-
nal optimist, vowed to fight on. "The
doctors can't win it for me," he said.
"They can help. I've got to win this
fight."
He said his weight loss has
stabilized and he feels much better
although "I tire a little at the end of
the day."
PRESIDENT Carter, on the last
leg of a cross-country trip, stopped in
Minneapolis on Sunday to pick up the
66-year-old Humphrey and his family
and bring them back to Washington
on board the presidential jet, Air
Force One.
In his floor speech, the unsuccess-
ful Democratic presidental candi-
date said his doctors told him a
week ago that he could make the trip
to Washington.
"I waited, because I'm a frugal
man, until I could get a free
ride . . . For at least 20 years I've
been trying to get on Air Force One.
Just the thought of it sent vibrations
through me that gave me new hope,
new strength," he said.
