It is fitting that a United States Post Office near his home in Kalihi be named in his honor. During his 20 years of service in the United States Senate. Senator Fong personified a spirit of bipartisan cooperation. He was instrumental in enacting landmark civil rights legislation in the 1960s. reforming U.S. immigration laws to end discrimination against Asian immigrants. improving job training programs for workers. and fighting for equal pay for women. The people of Hawaii were truly fortunate to have been represented by Hiram Fong." I commend my colleagues for seeking to honor the political legacy of Senator Hiram Leong Fong and urge swift passage of this legislation.
