This press release was issued by then-Senator Howell Heflin's office on July 19, 1994. That morning, the Senator had been dining in the Capitol with some Alabama reporters, and suddenly felt a sniffle coming on. The reporters were astonished when the Senator reached into his pocket, pulled out a bit of fabric and began to wipe his nose with ... a pair of ladies underwear.
However, the Senator handled it well.
Here's a press release he issued:
STATEMENT OF SEN. HOWELL HEFLIN
HANDKERCHIEF
JULY 19, 1994
I mistakenly picked up a pair of my wife's white panties and put them in my pocket while I was rushing out the door to go to work.
Rather than take a chance on being embarrassed again, I'm going to start buying colored handkerchiefs.
GOOD SAVE, SENATOR!

Best ... save ... ever!
Great story. When this happened it was not a biggie. I credit Senator Heflin with dealing with it promptly before rumors started.
What a funny situation! Happy Easter weekend, my friend.
:)
Have a great weekend, Angel!
LOL!
Colored underwear will do it too.
That's the quick thinking that gets them there. Cool historic find, A
Very amusing. Imagine that happening today? Some politicians, like Trump, would be proud of it!
Howell Heflin was an underrated senator, but a good one.
I think I may just start purchasing women's panties to use as handkerchiefs. It should improve my poor "Strikes-Out-With-Females" reputation.
