Tom Gordon was a son of immigrant parents who. through his conduct and his kindness. exemplified the very spirit of those great people who built this Nation. I join my colleagues in their sorrow. and extend my sympathy to the family of the late Tom Gordon. Mr. Gordon was a member of a family which had left its indelible mark on the growth and progress of Chicago. An energetic man. Mr. Gordons effort in helping particularly the immigrant settlers who found their way to Chicago is today legendary. His conduct in Congress could well serve as a model for freshman Congressmen like myself. for Mr. Gordon had that unique attribute of always finding time to listen to all sides of a debate before making his decision.
