Speaker. we approach the 190th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and I am reminded upon this occasion of a rather extraordinary man who resides in Binghamton. N.Y.. in my district. One hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Peter T. Campon was born in Dan Donato. Province of Cosenza. Italy. A A3462 few years later. he immigrated to this country with his family and eventually established residence in Binghamton. His family. 3 years after arriving in America. decided to return to their homeland. but Mr. Campon. not yet 14. had already been inoculated with the spirit of this Nation and made his decision to remain hereto carve out his own destiny even on his own.
