As has been stated this evening. the theme for this week is "Peace Is Possible. I Can Help." This is a motto I have followed not just this week. but every week for the past 15 years. My first contact with Ireland came in the early 1950s when I served as a Vice Consul of the United States Foreign Service in Dublin. I then returned in 1978. as the ranking minority member of the Immigration Subcommittee. to investigate reports of visa denials to British subjects of Irish descent by United States consular posts in London. Dublin. and Belfast. That Judiciary Committee trip forever changed my outlook on Northern Ireland.
