It is truly appropriate that Mr. RODINo be recognized in this fashion at an American Committee for Italian Migration event. The ACIM has been a community leader in immigration. putting into effect the laws Chairman RODINO has so ably fashioned. Our late former President Lyndon Baines Johnson once said of the groups immigration efforts. "No group has worked harder or with more dedication than the American Committee on Italian Migration." I understand from Father Joseph A. Cogo. the hardworking executive director of the ACIM. that in an average year. some 1.300 people obtain assistance from the ACIM for their problems with immigration and citizenship. ACIM. through radio. television. and the print media. provides a vast and important network of information to millions of people. Furthermore. after the terrible 1980 earthquake which devastated 10.000 square miles of the Italian countryside. the ACIM quickly rallied to offer assistance.
