the Atlantic coast to the heart of America

the. long struggle which made Chia dream a
reality.
While the thriving commerce and new in-
dustry now being generated by the seaway
is your real reward, i consider it an honor
to join with all Wisconsin in paying tribute
to you for the faith and conviction which
played such a vital role in the successful out-
come of the long battle to bring the vessels
of the world to the ports oP Wisconsin.

a meeting in Milwaukee arranged by your
many friends in Wisconsin. It is altogether
fitting that you should be so honored.

you have served as chairman, gives me full
assurance when I say that your service to
your State and to the country has been
outstanding.

mittee, both as chairman and as ranking
minority member, has been of the highest
order.
The Nation, and particularly your State of
Wisconsin and the States ai the Middle West,
owe you a debt of gratitude for your great
and continued effort on the St. Lawrence
Seaway. There is no doubt of your posi-
tion as a major factor in bringing this great

you are being honored by many of your
friends for your great contribution to Wis-

and it is appropriate that this testimonial
should emphasize, your great contribution in
the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
I want to add my thanks to those of other
Wisconsinites for your never-ending fight to
make the seaway dream come- true. It
should not be overlooked on this occasion
that this was brought about when Wiscon-
sin, for the first time in its history, had a
1?enator who held the highest rank on many
important Senate committees ever held by
a representative of the State of Wisconsin.
