Mr. Speaker. today several of our colleagues. under the able leadership of my colleague from New York . have paid tribute to one of the oldest American ethnic organizations. the American Hungarian Federation. Organized 60 years ago. the federation has been active in educating Hungarian immigrants to the American way of life while simultaneously it also published translations of Hungarian literature in order to familiarize the American public with the cultural heritage of Hungarian authors. The federation. besides its educational activities. always took an unequivocal stand where freedom and democracy were concerned and tries to give expression also to the aspirations of the suppressed peoples of Hungary. while remaining American in spirit and ideals. The federation is led by the outstanding members of American Hungarian churches. intellectual and business community. and jurists.
