A deeply religious spirit is an indispensable part of the life of the Greek people. And through the centuries. the heritage of liberty and learning which we have come to identify as characteristic of the Hellenic ideal has served as a model for America. Mr. Speaker. as some of my colleagues are aware. I have a highly personal link with Greece. My father is a Greek immigrant. he was born in Greece and came to the United States some 55 years ago. As my colleagues also know. I am deeply proud to be the first nativeborn American of Greek descent elected to the Congress of the United States.
