(2) Senator Stennis has a distinguished record as a United States Senator, including service as the first Chairman of the Select Committee on Ethics, Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and President pro tempore of the Senate.
(3) Senator Stennis has long maintained a special interest in and devotion to the development of leadership and excellence in public service.
