We will remember him for that. but also for much more. We will remember that he was fiercely and justifiably proud of his own culture and heritage. yet deeply and sincerely appreciative of others. We will remember the children he helped to visit Israel. the prisoners he helped leave Cuba. and the refugees from war and famine whose lives he tried to make easier and a little bit brighter. We will remember his work on the Energy and Commerce Committee. where he tried to make health care available to all our citizens. and where he tried to open the doors of opportunity in our telecommunications industry tc every American. MICKEY LELAND was keenly aware of the importance of giving all Americans positive role models so that we could break the cycles of poverty and despair.
