The contributions of Professor Brecher in the field of medical research will benefit humanity throughout the world for many generations to come. This honor to him. bestowed by the Government of France. brings credit to the United States as a result of two great national traditions: That of welcoming immigrants into our midst. and that of providing Federal funds for basic scientific research for our Nations scholars. Professor Brechers discoveries could not have occurred in our Nation without Federal research moneys. As the Congress considers the proposed budget cuts in many areas of research support. let this evidence of dividends from our research investments be kept in mind.
