Mr. Speaker. the United States lost an intellectual giant in the passing of economist and public figure John Kenneth Galbraith. Both he and I were immigrants to the United Stateshe from Canada. I from Hungaryand we both earned a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California. Berkeley. But I came to find that we had much more in common than that. When I ran my very first race for Congress in 1980. Mr. Speaker. I received an unsolicited contributionand as my colleagues know. that is truly remarkable for a challenger seeking to upset an incumbent member of Congress. The contribution was from John Kenneth Galbraith.
