I was doing genealogical research, and ran across this site. Sure enough, it listed my great-uncle Alfred Niezychowski, who was a (defeated) Democratic candidate from Michigan for the U.S. House of Representatives. 1932, 1st District.

I'd heard that he, or possibly my great-grandfather Edward Werner, had pulled strings with (Republican) Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, to get some war-orphaned children from Poland, along with their Auschwitz-survivor aunt, into the United States. The family stories which I've heard, say that Senator Ferguson got a rider added to a bill somewhere, to allow for the children to immigrate.

I'd very much like to see the text of that bill.

Why am I so interested? One of those refugee children was my father.
