The Post Office Department has undertaken a program of issuing "Champion of Liberty" stamps in honor of outstanding freedom fighters of the world. Among these champions should be included Taras Shevchenko. Our Nation has been the happy recipient of the immigration of fine Ukrainian citizens to this country after their terrible ordeal when the Soviets invaded and took over control of their homeland. I say "happy recipient" because in my own State of North Dakota the Ukrainians have become valuable citizens and their families are looked upon with respect and admiration. I am glad to take part in urging the Post Office Department to issue the commemorative stamp in honor of Taras Shevchenko.
