GEARY
Uh, Mr. CHAIRMAN -- I would like to verify the witness's statement.
For years now a growing number of my constituents have been of Italian
decent -- and I have come to know them well. They have honored me with
their support and with their friendship. Indeed I can proudly say some
of my very best friends are Italian-Americans. However, Mr. CHAIRMAN, at
this time very unfortunately I have to leave these proceedings in order
to preside over a very important committee of my own committee. But
before I leave I do want to say this. These hearings on the Mafia are in
no way what-so-ever a slur upon the great Italian people. Because I can
state from my own knowledge and experience -- that Italian-Americans
are among the most loyal -- most law-abiding -- patriotic, hard
working American citizens in this land. And it would be a shame. Mr.
CHAIRMAN if we allowed a few rotten apples to bring a bad name to the
whole barrel. Because from the time of the great Christopher Columbus up
through the time of Enrico Fermi right up to the present day --
Italian-Americans have been pioneers in building and defending our great
nation. They are the soil o' the earth and one of the backbones of this
country.
