He has served working men and women well. he has served his community well. and throughout a life which has included active military service in defense of this Nation. he has served his country honorably and with great dignity. I am proud to know Tony Cannata. to call him a close friend whose judgment and advice I value greatly. and to bring this admirable man to the attention of the full House of Representatives. which I am certain joins me in saluting his outstanding career. Ours is a country to which Tony Cannata emigrated from his birthplace of Sicily in 1930. when he was 9 years old. He entered this country. as had millions before him. through Ellis Island. and he began an adventure which took him to one of the highest positions in the labor movement in northen California. Tony arrived in California after serving in the Army for 4 years during World War I1.
