Released into Congressional Record, February 12, 1999
Mr. BYRD. Mr. Chief Justice:
I think my country sinks beneath the yoke,
It weeps, it bleeds,
And each new day,
a gash is added to her wounds.
I am the only remaining Member of Congress who was here in 1954 when we added the words 'under God' to the Pledge of Allegiance. That was on June 7, 1954. One year from that day we added the words 'In God We Trust' to the currency and coin of this country. Those words were already on some of the coins. But I shall always be proud to have voted to add those words, 'under God' and 'In God We Trust.' They mean much to us today as we meet here.

You should have known I'd pull out the Robert Byrd on you.
