Mr. President. on December 14. 1966. Dr. Leonard Covello received the Meritorious Award of the State Department of the State of New York. Dr. Covello. former principal of the Benjamin Franklin School. in East Harlem. New York City. was a pioneer in assuring that the school would be. for later generations of Negro and Puerto Rican Immigrants to the city. as important as it had been for earlier generations of Americans from Ireland. Italy. and other nations of Europe. Dr. Covellos remarks on receiving the Meritorious Award will be interesting to all those concerned with the education and future of our children and with the crisis of the urban areas.
