When I first came to Congress in 1944 "TAD" had already served many years in this House and from the start I have been privileged to count him among my friends. I have a deep sense of gratitude for the advice and help he has extended to me over these many years. "TAD" is one of our ablest Members. a modest man and above all fair and impartial in his dealings with his colleagues. I am sure there are thousands of people all over the world who would like to extend "TAD" a most happy birthday for it was through his humanitarian efforts that many hundreds of refugees found it possible to start a new life at a time when they had lost all hope. Also through his help on private immigration bills many more thousands of people have been permitted to join their kin here in America. There is probably no one who has accomplished so much for the unfortunate. homeless. and displaced persons. My hopes and prayers are that "TAD" will have a speedy recovery and will soon be back with his many friends here in the House of Representatives to continue his dedicated work for his district. the State of Pennsylvania. and his beloved country.
