Raoul Wallenbergs extraordinary record of saving the lives of countless thousands of Jews during the holocaust. at great personal risk and sacrifice. amply justifies this Nation conferring upon him its highest honor by proclaiming him an honorary citizen of the United States. Mr. Wallenberg undertook his perilous mission at the behest of the United States and the American War Refugee Board. The passage of House Joint Resolution 220 will iepresent a ringing affirmation of Americas commitment to the survival of the Jewish people and our tremendous esteem for someone who risked his own life to try to save so many Jewish lives from Nazi extermination. A number of bills have been introduced over the years to confer honorary citizenship on various persons. but the only successful effort to date related to Sir Winston Churchill.
