                   IN HONOR OF PROF. TIBERIUS HUMITA

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2001

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to give special recognition to 
a very dear friend of mine, a living icon of idealistic political 
activism, Professor Tiberius Humita. Born in Romania, Tiberius has 
always been on the cutting edge of social activism. From his days as a 
youth in Bucharest, to his time as a political refugee in Germany 
during WWII, to his support of progressive candidates back in Michigan, 
Tiberius has always stood out as a leader and an example of what it 
takes to institute positive change. In March of 1997, Tiberius wrote a 
brief article about his life. It was published in the American Romanian 
News, and tells the fascinating story of this man's courage and 
selflessness. There is no better way to describe this man's 
contribution to the world. I encourage all of you to read the story of 
Prof. Tiberius Humita. He is from a generation that had to fight for 
their freedom, and risk their lives for a greater cause. May his tale 
put in perspective just what it is we are doing here in the halls of 
the greatest Democracy the world has ever known.
