FDR once said. "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much: it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." Those words resonate true now more than ever. As a Nation we must never forget our responsibility to the general welfare of all of our citizens. This means we have a duty to the mother who Is without the resources to feed her Infant. we have a duty to ensure that our poor children receive the same health care as their classmates. and. yes. we even have a duty to the immigrants who are struggling in a new country. for the words etched on the Statute of Liberty still read "Give us your tired. your poor. yearning to be free * * *." Mr. Speaker. as we commemorate Franklin Roosevelts legacy let us never forget that it was because of his dedication to those who had too little that many Americans now have so much.
