  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, when the Congress was in recess this fall, a 
significant milestone in the fight for freedom occurred.
  This past October 23 marked the 50th anniversary of the 1956 
Hungarian Revolution. I want to recognize the young freedom fighters 
who on that day against monumental odds, put their lives on the line to 
fight for the liberation of their country from the oppression of a 
dominating communist empire.
  They are true heroes, not only to citizens of Hungarian origin who 
have come to America, but to freedom-loving people around the world. As 
we remember the sacrifice of these freedom fighters, it is important to 
take the time to reflect upon the importance to freedom and liberty, 
and remember those who dedicate their lives to defending human rights.
