Speaker. today we tip our legislative hat to one of the great scientists of this or any other time. Dr. Theodore von Karman is 80 years young today. Dr. von Karman was born May 11. 1881. in Budapest. Hungary. but came to our country and become a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1936. While he is probably most prominently known to us as the father of aerospace science. his career and service to this country and all of mankind are virtually without equal. Today. distinguished leaders of science from all over the world are gathering in Washington and will pay him homage at a banquet tonight in recognition of this significant occasion of his 80th birthday.
