Madam President. I am always fascinated by Senator DOMENICIs floor statements. about his immigrant parents. I will take just 60 seconds to talk about my immigrant parents. My mother came here when she was 6 years old in 1906. My father came in 1911 when he was 18. The Czar wanted to send my father to Siberia. He lived in Ukraine. That is where the Czar wanted to send all the young Jewish men. to Siberia. My father didnt want to go to Siberia because he heard it was cold there. He wanted to go to Kansas instead. It was a close call. and he got to Kansas where I was born.
