Madam Speaker. I rise today to congratulate HIAS. the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and the Council Migration Service of Philadelphia on their 125th anniversary. Since 1882. HIAS and Council have resettled and aided over 125.000 immigrants and refugees in their quest for safety and opportunity in our great Nation. Originally formed to serve the Jewish community. this charitable organization provides vital social and legal services to individuals representing 100 nationalities. The work of HIAS and Council to ensure that refugees and immigrants assimilate. and become permanent residents and citizens. is truly commendable. As the largest provider of citizenship application assistance in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. HIAS and Council uphold our tradition as a Nation of immigrants. In honor of this special anniversary. HIAS and Council are posthumously paying tribute to Daniel Aaron.
