This tribute to our respected and beloved colleague from New York is one which comes from the hearts of the Members of this body for we have had the honor of working with him on many historic bills. In the past 50 years. he has shaped literally thousands of important bills and left his mark on the history of our Nation. The records of history will be filled with accounts of his leadership in civil rights legislation. antitrust legislation. immigration reform legislation. lawenforcement legislation. and so many other vitally important measures. His speeches to this House on behalf of those bills. brilliant and so logical. will be read by students and future Members of the Congress. It will be more difficult for history to capture the truly interesting and memorable side of this gentlemans character and career.
