Throughout this special order my colleagues will recount fond memories of working with CLEM ZABLOCKIfor it was a real pleasure. pure and simple. I have several instances of my own. Even before he assumed the chairmanship of the House Foreign Affairs Committee CLEM played an instrumental role in helping me gain passage of an amendment to provide $25 million in urgent humanitarian aid to the homeless and helpless Greek Cypriot refugees uprooted by the illegal invasion of Cyprus by Turkey. I also recall CLEMs exemplary leadership in 1976 and 1980 in securing other desperately needed commitment of funds this time to aid thousands of victims of two separate earthquakes which rocked the Friuli region of northern Italy and a large segment of southern Italy. The United States. thanks in large part to CLEM ZABLOCKI. was there first with assistance to rebuild homes and hospitals and provide food and certain health care.
