Several members of the task force will wish today to acclaim the contributions that MexicanAmericans have made to our great Nation. and they will wish in particular to honor one MexicanAmerican. the revered Cesar Chavez. The majority leader earlier this morning spoke about Cesar Chavez. I should like today to add to his comments. and I would particularly ask our colleagues to join not in mourning his death but. rather. to celebrate the life of this great man. a migrant who labored in other mens fields. an organizer. an inspiration. and a standard bearer of a nations conscience. It is altogether fitting and proper that we honor Cesar Chavez today. May 5. because Cinco de Mayo is a day celebrating the valor and determination of the Mexican people. and Cesar Chavez led his nonviolent troops to greater independence and dignity.
