Mr. Speaker. it gives me great pleasure to pay tribute to the Forward. New Yorks Yiddishlanguage daily newspaper. on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. For threequarters of a century. the dedicated staff of the Forward has served the Jewish community with news and features. providing thousands of immigrants with their first introduction to American life. A liberal. yet antiCommunist newspaper. the Forward has been instrumental in uniting the Jewish community in its quest for decent housing. employment. and equal opportunities. Several great labor unions were founded and strengthened through the efforts of the Forward. The Forward has also served as an effective channel for the development of Jewish arts and letters. publishing stories and essays of the greatest Jewish writers of modern times.
