Senator PAUL SIMON. will be honored tomorrow evening by the Lutheran Immigration anti Refugee Service for his tireless devotion to the plight of refugees throughout the world. I want everyone to know how special this award is and how special PAUL SIMON is. PAUl. anti I have worked together on the Immigration Subcommittee since he came to the Senate in 1985. lle has become a dear friend. But PAUl. SIMON is also a friend to the millions who suffer the devastation of tyranny and war. He is the unknown benefactor of the refugees who have found a safe haven on our shores. And he has been a bonefactor of our Nation. for these refugees are a revitalizing force among us. We enjoy the warm glow of bipartisanship on our subcommittee. and we need it. The issue of immigration is political dynamite and must be dealt with fairly. PAUL SIMON has been a persistent voice of justice and compassion on the subcommittee. The Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service has served thousands of those new to our shores. and their award is an honor and a trust. PAUL SIMON has lived up to that trust. The Statue of Liberty enlightens the world. but her torch does not burn untended. PAUL SIMON has helped keep her lamp fueled and lit for Americas newest immigrants. I am so pleased that PAULS hard work has been recognized with such an honor. and I know our colleagues share that pleasure.
