Goldfogle that the Foreign Relations Committee introduced the resolution to abrogate our treaty with Russia. and it was Congressman Goldfogle who framed this farreaching resolution which once for all determined the policy of our Government and people that we will not do business with any nation which will discriminate against our citizens simply because they may belong to different religious faiths. The response of the House of Representatives to Congressman Goldfogles resolution in 1910 was wholehearted and emphatic. it passing by an almost unanimous vote. and universal praise was showered on Goldfogle for his courageous and outspoken stand. While in Congress he was a member of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. and rendered to that committee most valuable services. not only to the committee members but also to the Members on the floor when they dealt with imnigration and naturalization. Although in great sympathy with the immigrant. nevertheless lie always upheld the principles of his own Government. and brought about a great enlightenment to the many foreign residents in the United States and to their adopted country that loyalty to the flag and to the Republic must be one of their first principles. I therefore see fit that before proceeding with the business of "the day we cease for a moment from our daily deliberation so that we may express our sympathy and sorrow for the untimely death of Henry M. Goldfogle. a former Member of this House. who served with distinction.
