Mr. Speaker. soon after coming to Congress In the Sixtyfifth Congress I had the privilege of meeting the late Congressman JACOB E. MEEKER. of Missouri. He was a member of the important Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. and as I was assigned to that body the opportunity to become acquainted with him was offered me. I early became impressed with his vigor. his honesty. and his Integrity. He was in many ways a wonderful man. His outstanding characteristics were mental honesty and fearlessness. He never tried to deceive himself. and his absolute fearlessness and honesty were proverbial. I was attracted to him by his sound reasoning power and his industry. and It is no exaggeration to say that he was easily one of the strong men of that limportant committee.
