Beset by the companion problems of national security rising out of the global ideological conflict his task as chairman of our subcommittee was not an easy one. Amidst controversy. impassioned plea and the doubts of an uncertain era he remained always calm. confident. and determined that a way could be found to honor our rich traditions as a land of refuge without endangering the future of our country to which he was dedicated. Standing as timeless monuments to the quality of his leadership are the Displaced Persons Act of 1948. the Refuge Relief Act of 1953. and the emergency parole program for Hungarian refugees in 1956. Many thousands of new Americans throughout the length and breadth of our country will mourn his passing and will remember him in their prayers for the blessings of liberty they and their families now enjoy. Great is the mark of our departed colleague and friend on the laws under which our system of selfgovernment is preserved and strengthened.
