We have enjoyed extremely friendly relationships with the Portuguese Government. During World War II and since that time they have permitted us the use of the Azores Islands as an intermediate point in the long air journey across the Atlantic. The quality of the Portuguese people is beyond question. I can attest personally to this fact because I have large numbers of people in my District who are either immigrants from the Azores Islands or the descendants of such immigrants. Almost without exception they are persons of extremely good character and accomplishment. They subscribe to the principles of our Government and economic institutions.
