The Congress of the United States and particularly the House of Representatives. which is closest to the people. has been often acclaimed as the defender of the Republic. as the principal shield in the preservation of our form of government and its institutions. and that it reflects the combined voice of our people. All of us who serve here have been honored in a very special way. Some of us are the sons of immigrants to this country. but there was no need for us to be steeped in tradition to qualify for our positions here. This body. then. is unique not only in terms of modern politics. but it has. in fact. been the long sought dream of civilization itself. Our individual position as a Member of Congress is important. but there is another position of even greater significance.
