The contributions of Greece to the cause of human liberty have been great and lasting. o Our commemorating of the Greek Independence Day serves as a reconfirmation of our devotion to democratic principles and of our faith that the idea which came into being a thousand years ago in Greece will surely win over the powers of darkness which threaten the world today. Mr. Speaker. in my congressional district I have many good friends who are Americans of Greek extraction. Many of them are Greek immigrants who came to America because America loomed great in their minds as the promised land. They have grown with America and have become leaders in business. the professions. and in the civic and public life of our community. I join with them in honoring Greek Independence Day and assure them of continued support for their historic efforts to strengthen the structure of their social and economic life.
