President. the Rapid City Guide. one of the finest weekly newspapers in my State. has published an excellent biography of my fellow South Dakotan. JIM ABOUREZK. The biography. written when JIM was involved in a primary election for the Democratic nomination for Congress. goes a long way toward explaining why JIM became the first Democrat in 36 years to be elected from South Dakotas Second Congressional District. The same remarkable energy and concern for the underdog which brought JIM from a Lebanese immigrant household on the Rosebud Indian Reservation to the U.S. Congress has already marked him as one of the most promising new Representatives in the House. I ask unanimous consent that this biographical sketch of my friend and colleague.
