When Virginia senator William B. Spong Jr. first went to Washington in 1966, he worried that the media might mistakenly pronounce his name as “Sponge.” But he observed that his Senate colleagues included Russell B. Long (D-La.) and Hiram L. Fong (R-Hawaii).
So in introducing himself at the National Press Club, he announced that the three of them would be introducing a bill to protect the rights of songwriters in Hong Kong. It would be called the Long Fong Spong Hong Kong Song Bill. They never introduced the bill, but the media never mispronounced Spong’s name.
