Description
In a November 19, 1965 issue of his weekly column "Byrd's Eye View," Senator Byrd took a strong stance against the practice of self-immolation, which was being practiced by Vietnam War protesters. Senator Byrd declared such acts to be "foreign to our way of life" and that its practice spoke to the "deep frustrations and poorly adjusted personalities" of those who were protesting the war.
