Speaker. the month of October 1966 is the 10th anniversary of the Hungarian revolution. It is right and just that we all pay tribute to the courageous Hungarians who gave their lives in the valiant but futile effort to extirpate the Communist tyranny which rules their nation. We are mindful of our commitment to the purpose of the Hungarian revolution by the presence of nearly 50.000 refugees from that revolution who are now living in our country. These people by their presence add even greater wealth to our own national culture. We are reminded of the more than 24.000 Hungarian freedom fighters who died in the revolution of 1956 and of countless thousands of other brave patriots who were Jailed or deported by Soviet forces which overran Hungary and deterred her revolt against communism. All freedomloving people acclaimed the courage of the people of Budapest and prayed for their success at that time. Even though victory was not theirs. the spirit. heart. and mind of the Hungarian people will never be controlled or suppressed by the Communists.
