Mr. Speaker. that I may be forgiven if I speak with considerable pride in calling brief attention to the legislation in which I was fortunate in being able to play a significant role. both in its enactment and in its subsequent implementation with funds. Such legislative items include improvements in law and order and the control of crime. social security. medicare. and expanded welfare care. national defense measures. job and housing benefits. veterans benefits. immigration and refugee help. and many other kindred measures. such as the approval of funds for hospitals and schools here and abroad. I am indeed grateful for the rich experiences I have gained in this body. I have been permitted to make firm and lasting friendships with a host of leaders who. too. dedicated themselves to serve a grateful Nation.
