Mr. President. I wish to extend a very personal greeting to this fine group of folks from the country from which my parents emigrated. My father. as a young man. 23 years of age. came from the Province of Ostergotland. my mother. as an 18yearold girl. came to the United States from the Province of Varmland. With this Swedish background. I am delighted to welcome this outstanding delegation from the home country of my parents. I myself speak Swedish. and if it were not for the fact that it would confuse Senators and the Official Reporters of Debates. I would extend greetings in the Swedish language. although it may be a little faltering.
