He said, "That way we could fulfill our affirmative action goals for the Heinz company." I said, "Senator, I'm reluctant to go into a field that I don't know much about, but I promise you that if you'll support my school, I'll get it built and in a couple of years, I'll come back and weigh out that program that you desire." And Senator Heinz sat very quietly and he said, "Well, what would your reaction be if I said I'd give you a million dollars?" I said, "Senator, it appears that we're going into the food training business." (Laughter) And John Heinz did give me a million bucks. And most importantly, he loaned me the head of research for the Heinz company.
Сенатор Хайнц притих и сказал: « Ну что ж, а какова будет ваша реакция, если я предложу вам миллион долларов? » И я ответил: « Сенатор, такое ощущение, что мы открываем кулинарные курсы ». (Смех) Джон Хайнц дал мне миллион баксов, и что ещё важнее, он отправил к нам руководителя исследований компании Heinz.
