This is an unusual announcement. but I know that many of our colleagues will appreciate the notice that. tomorrow morning when we convene. the prayer in the Senate will be offered by Cardinal Franz Koenig. of Austria. who is visiting in our country. Cardinal Koenig is one of the great spiritual leaders of our time. as a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. he has been a moving and thoughtprovoking leader in the Ecumenical Council and has been closely identified with the socalled progressive or liberal school in his faiths deliberations. His spiritual domain stretches along the Iron Curtain and its location has given him an opportunity to use his many talents to halt the Communist thrusts in Central and Western Europe and to alleviate the burden and hardships of many refugees. He was particularly active in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. when his Caritas organization took a leading role in looking after the Hungarian refugees. He worked there. incidentally. with our distinguished colleague the Senator from Rhode Island . As Senators may recall. the Senator from Rhode Island was later awarded the Caritas medal.
