I rise to join my colleagues in paying tribute to an outstanding American. the Honorable MICHAEL A. FEIGHAN. who is completing 28 years of service in the Congress of the United States. Because of their international viewpoint on many issues. the people of Hawaii have a special interest in matters pertaining to our Nations immigration and naturalization policies. As their Congressman. I am pleased to join my colleagues in paying tribute to MIKE FEIGHAN. for as chairman of the House Judiciary Committees Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality he has labored assiduously for substantial improvements in the law pertaining to immigration and naturalization. MIKE FEIGHAN has been the prime mover of countless bills in this area. His efforts in behalf of those whom he himself called "my second constituency." will be remembered long after his retirement. His efforts. which have been both diligent and effective. have borne abundant fruit. In no small measure MIKE has been responsible for the United States having immigration and naturalization laws which are among the most enlightened In the world. Immigration and nationality laws were not the only interest of this dedicated public servant. He lent the benefit of his many years of experience to the House by participating in deliberations in committees and debates on the floor. I certainly wish to be numbered among the host of friends who will miss MIKE FEIGHAN in the next Congress.
