He was our constant reminder that people were dying of hunger in parts of the world far removed from the elegant meals on which we dine In Washington. MICKEY wasnt one to just pay lipservice to the causes in which he believed. He devoted his time. even his muscle as when he unloaded bags of grain in African refugee camps. for the less fortunate. Although it is not much solace to say that Congressman LELAND did not die in vainhe did not. For many days. during and after the search mission for LELANDS plane. pictures of the Congressman making suffering children in African refugee camps smile appeared on the front pages of major newspapers and on news broadcasts across the country. Suddenly. everyone was reminded of an issue that had faded from popularity but had never gone awayworld hunger. As one of Congressman LELANDS colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee I saw that his concern was not only for the starving of other continents.
