During his many years of service. Claude Pepper became recognized as the champion of senior citizensbut his commitment and concern extended to all Americans. and particularly to his constituents in Miami. Many of the residents of Miami. arriving as refugees from Cuba or elsewhere. knew that his door was always open and relied on his assistance. One of these former refugees is now Claude Peppers successor and sponsor of H.R. 4985. Representative ILEANA RosLEHTINEN. Therefore. it is appropriate that we honor Claude Peppers many decades of distinguished service in the Congress by designating the Miami Federal building in which his district office was located as the "Claude Pepper Federal Building." I urge passage of H.R. 4985 by the House today.
