JOHNSON has served in the House for 20 years and his service has marked him as a man of great ability. and his accomplishments in a legislative way have made him illustrious. It is only given to a few people to be recognized as foremost authorities--Mr. JOHNSON has won this distinction and there is no one to vie with him in a consideration of who is the bestposted man in Congress on matters of immigration. His long service on the Immigration Committee. as a member and as chairman. together with his lifetime study of the subject of immigration. plus the power of a brilliant mind. enabled him to win the indisputable title of being the leading authority on immigration matters in the House. His many public addresses and his prolific writings gave him a national reputation. The Congress will miss him because of his great knowledge of facts. and the country will miss him because of his mastery of this intricate yet very human subject. and his constituents will miss him because of his influence and service. Having served on the Immigration Committee with him for eight years and knowing the esteem in which he is held by his colleagues on that committee. and by the House Members generally. I am proud of the opportunity to say these few words concerning this statesman who has given the best years of his life in the service of his country. I hope he continues to give his country the benefit of his great knowledge and versatility.
