CONGRESSIONAL RECORD MR. SPEAKER, IN A FEW DAYS TIME ABOUT 6.000 YOUNG AMERICANS WILL BE RETURN- ING TO CALIFORNIA FOR THE CHRIST- MAS HOLIDAYS. THEY WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO HAVE BEEN HOME IN DECEMBER WHEN THEIR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS CELEBRATED CHRIST- MAS, BUT THEN SO WOULD ANOTHER 50 AMERICANS IN TEHRAN, THE EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN IRAN. AND LATER IN AFGHANISTAN ARE OF GREAT CONCERN TO AMERICA AND TO OUR ALLIES AND FRIENDS. AND SO TO SHOW OUR RESOLVE, THESE 6,000 DEDICATED MEN OF THE USS KITTY HAWK, USS JOUETT, USS BERKELEY, USS STEIN, AND USS WA- BASH SERVED NOTICE TO THE WORLD THAT THE UNITED STATES IS DETER- MINED TO MAINTAIN PEACE AND STA- BILITY IN THE REGION. OUR COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MARITIME NATION, DEPENDENT ON FREEDOM OF THE SEAS FOR TRADE SE- CURITY. TO MAINTAIN THAT FREE- DOM, THE U.S. NAVY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON CALL— FROM TRIPOLI TO MA- NILA BAY, FROM THE NORTH ATLAN- TIC TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC. THESE RE- TURNING SHIPS REMIND EVERYONE THAT OUR NATION STILL MAINTAINS A FORCE ALWAYS READY FOR RAPID DEPLOYMENT. AND SO TODAY, WE SALUTE 6,000 BRAVE MEN AS THEY RETURN HOME FROM A LONG VOYAGE. THESE AMERI- CANS EXPECTED TO BE HOME LAST DE- CEMBER, BUT THEIR COUNTRY NEED- ED THEM, AMERICAN MARITIME TRA- DITION CALLED, AND THE PRIDE OF THESE MEN IN THEIR WORK RUNS DEEP. THEY RESPONDED. TO THE MEN OF THE USS KITTY ' HAWK, USS JOUETT, USS BERKELEY, USS STEIN, AND USS WABASH, WE SAY WELCOME HOME AND A BELATED MER- RY CHRISTMAS. YOU ARE HEROES TO US. Entered inio THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD on 20 February 1980 by Congressman Bob Wilson from California. EDWARD HIDALGO SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
