Mr. Speaker. Felix Frankfurter. who came to this country an immigrant boy and rose to a Supreme Court Justice died this week at the age of 82. It is perhaps significant that the date of his death also marked the birth date of another great American. George Washington. I say another great American for Felix Frankfurter was just thata great American. Though he was given many labels during the course of his public life. none aptly described this man. or perhaps all of them did. for he never strove to fit into any particular niche. His guiding star seemed to be the achievement of individual liberty as defined In our Constitution.
