I join my colleagues today in saluting the American Hungarian Federation. For 60 years. since its chartering in Cleveland. Ohio. in 1907. the federation has given uninterrupted service to Hungarian immigrants enabling them to become loyal. productive citizens of the United States while serving as a spokesman of their aspirations and needs. The American Hungarian Federation. during the last two decades. has also served as an informal spokesman for those inside Hungary who were deprived of their national selfdetermination and a free democratic government due to occupation by the armed forces of the Soviet Union. During this time it has also sought to inform the American public on political. religious. and economic situation in Communistruled Hungary and thereby give expression to some of the longings of the suppressed Hungarian people.
