Mr. Speaker. I was saddened recently to learn of the death of Dr. Petras Dauzvardis. consul general of Lithuania. in Chicago. Dr. Dauzvardis was born in the little village of Pakamanciai. Lithuania. on November 16. 1895. He immigrated to the United States and began his studies at Valparaiso University. In 1922 he enrolled in Georgetown University where he earned his degree in law. In 1925 he was appointed Vice Consul of New York. and 12 years later he was transferred to Chicago as Lithuanian consul. In 1961 he was given the title of consul general. Dr. Dauzvardis never forgot his heritage and was extremely effective in serving the cause of Lithuanians throughout the world.
