Speaker. I am happy that Italy and the United States. one an old nation. the other relatively new. have been such good friends over the years. For. in exchange for the rich infusion of talent and energy brought by the Italian immigrants to our shores in the last century. we Americans played a large part in rescuing Italy from Fascist tyranny in this century. I am proud that our Government has shown sympathy. friendship. and generosity in our encouragement and nourishment of the Republic born 20 years ago today in Italy. Since those anxious and hopeful days of 1946 the youthful Republic of Italy has gone through periods of test and trial and has come out the stronger for them.
