As he once said of these amendments. Only Thomas Jefferson authored more Constitutional amendments. There are at least 400 laws that EMANUEL CELLER can properly claim as having his personal imprint upon them. including 6 major civil rights bills. the CellerKefauver Antimonopoly Act. the abolition of the national origins formula in the immigration laws. and the 4 amendments now part of the Constitution. With such a record it is no wonder that those of us who have sat on the House Judiciary Committee have come to have a deep and abiding respect for this man who is a symbol of integrity. perseverance. and plain hard work. We will all miss EMANUEL CELLER when the Congress convenes in January of 1973. but his accumulated acts. wisdom. and daytoday conduct will long be remembered.
