Mr. Speaker. if there is a man or woman in the land who does not feel his heart beat a little faster when there is mention of the land of his forebears. then that man or woman contributes little to the success of this Republic which is ours. For here. in this greatest of all countries. the children of other lands have built a monument to the love of liberty and freedom which first brought the immigrants who fled tyranny. and oppression. and injustice. And among those immigrants who bridged the ocean there were thousands of Poles who to this hour continue to give their all that this Nation might prosper. For them and their descendants. today takes on a special significance. Today marks the anniversary of the Polish Constitution of 1791the first written constitution in Europe.
