Mr. Speaker, Mr.. President,
members of Congress:
1t is with heavy heart that
stand before you, my friends and
colleagues. in the Congress of
the United States.
Only yesterday we laid to rest
the mortal remains of our be-
loved President, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. At a time like this,
words are inadequate. The most
eloquent tribute would be a
reverent silence.
Yet, in this decisive hour, when
world events are moving so rapid
ly, our silence might be misun-
derstood and might give comfort
to our enemies.
In His infinite wisdom, Al
mighty God has seen fit to take
from us great man who loved,
and was beloved by all humanity.
No man could possibly fill the
tremendous void left by the pass
ing of that noble soul. No words
can ease the aching hearts of
untold millions of every race,
creed and color. The world
knows it has lost heroic cham
pion of justice and freedom.
Tragic fate has thrust upon
us grave responsibilities. We must
carry on. Our departed leader
never looked backward. He
looked forward and moved for
