As ranking member of Hungarys last freely elected Parliament. Monsignor Varga came to the United States and rallied other Hungarian exiles to share in his freedom. The French Government has also honored Monsignor Varga in the past by decorating him with Frances Legion of Honor. in rememberance of the refugees he saved. Over the years he has prayed that his country would not be forgotten by the free world. And so on his 80th birthday I see this as a fitting occasion to commemorate those who suffer for freedom in Hungary today and especially to honor the man who made freedom possible for many. and continues to be a pillar of hope to Hungarians everywhere.
