((2)) Senator Goldwater has a distinguished record as a Senator, including service as Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and as Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.

((3)) Senator Goldwater has long maintained a special interest in the education of America’s youth, particularly in the fields of science and mathematics.
