Speaker. I am pleased today to have the opportunity to join in commemorating the 60th anniversary of a fine organization. the American Hungarian Federation. I particularly want to congratulate the leaders of the federation at this historical juncture for outstanding service not only to Hungarian immigrants who are now productive and happy citizens of our country. but also to our society at large. For in its history of 60 years. the American Hungarian Federation has sought to acquaint new citizens and immigrants with the tenets and forms of the American way of life and has helped them become good citizens and loyal members of American society. At the same time. the federation has endeavored to preserve the culture and traditions of American Hungarians through generations from Col. Nicolas de Kovats of George Washingtons army. through the Hungarian brigade during the Civil War to Edward Teller. and to the many soldiers of Hungarian descent now fighting the battle against Communist aggression in Vietnam like their brethren had fought the Russian tanks in Budapest a little more than 10 years ago.
