"As you know, my grandfather visited Washington often during his long career, though perhaps most notably as a guest of President Franklin Roosevelt during the Second World War."

"On December the 26th, 1941, just days after the appalling atrocity at Pearl Harbor, he came across the Atlantic and was invited to address a joint session of Congress just yards away from where this moving ceremony is being held today."

"On that occasion, as we've been reminded, he famously joked that if his father had been an American and his mother British, instead of the other way round, he might indeed have got here on his own."

"Mr. Speaker, this bust is a symbol that his hope is still being realized, for the benefit of this and for future generations, and his memory remains a beacon for free men and free women everywhere."
