Tom was a special influence on me before I came to Congress and has greatly influenced the direction of my own policy interests. I remember meeting with Tom at the OHare Hilton one night to gain his insights on congressional service. Among many thoughts. he described to me how he was able to help some people in this district who had relatives in the Jewish community in the Soviet Union who wanted to emigrate to Israel or to the United States. He indicated there would probably be constituents in my new district who would have the same need for their relatives trapped in Soviet oppression. When I began my service.
