President. I introduce. for appropriate reference. a bill to provide for the striking of medals in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the first union health center in the United State by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. A momentous step was taken by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. almost totally composed of immigrants. 50 years ago with the founding of the first union health center in the United States. It was tiny in facilities. but gigantic in conception. It was the acorn of a completely new approach to medical care for thousands of workers that has inspired a vast growth among many other trade unions and socially minded organizations today.
