I congratulate our distinguished colleague. the gentleman from Illinois. on the contribution he is making on the floor of the House of Representatives today in giving appropriate and due recognition to Polish Constitution Day. and for the contribution he has continually made since he has been a Member of the Congress to the hopes and aspirations of all people who love freedom. particularly those under the yoke of communism in Eastern Europe. and. of course. to the people who are so close to his heartthe Polish people. In many respects the gentleman has served his constituency and the country in this regard. In his championship of better and more liberal immigration laws he tried to see to it that the American concept is held high and carried abroad to people all over the world. I would like to join the gentleman in paying tribute to the Polish people as they celebrate this holiday today. the anniversary of the adoption of the Polish Constitution on May 3. 1791. The jubilation of the American people was boundless when the first news of the Polish Constitution reached Boston in July 1791.
