Speech #880050151

The people of his district in Pennsylvania realized a long time ago that they truly had a great and dedicated representative as their Congressman. His loss will now be deeply felt by all the people of the 15th District of Pennsylvania. Even though Representative WALTER fulfilled the great responsibilities placed upon him by his many duties. as chairman of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities. as chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality of the Committee on the Judiciary. as a member of the Joint Committee on Immigration and Nationality Policy and as chairman of the Democratic caucus. he always remembered that his first duty and obligation was to the people who had sent him to the House of Representatives. I shall miss "TAD" after serving with him over 19 years here in the House of Representatives. His family has my deepest sympathy and prayers in their loss.
