PRESENTED TO CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN BURGER
This picture
shows the
presentation of
the
original,
deluxe
edition to former
U.S. Chief Justice Warren Burger
at his Supreme Court’s office in Washington.
These are some of the
comments received on the occasion of the publishing of America’s Charters
of Freedom in English and Spanish, Independence Day, 1986.
Prof. Vega is an able, dedicated and zealous patriot, with a deep concern that
Spanish-speaking people would understand and appreciate the esteemed writings of
our Founding Fathers.
Senator Gerald Cardinale
Prof. Vega, a Bergen County resident, has distinguished himself as an individual
interested in the promotion of better understanding and relations between
Hispanics and the community at large. His translation, edition and publication
work throughout the years has assisted his goal of unity. As Governor, I take
great pride in commending your work. New Jersey is proud of the achievements of
this New Jersey citizen. I salute you and hope that you will continue your fine
work for many years to come.
Jim Florio, former Governor of New Jersey
Prof. Vega deserves to be commended for his fine contribution to the body of
bilingual literature. His work will provide the non-English proficient Hispanics
in this country and abroad an opportunity to read these important documents and
perhaps to appreciate the foundations of our country and our democratic society.
His initiative is a novel venture which replicates with such accuracy and
authenticity the spirit of the original documents.
T.H. Bell,
former U.S. Secretary of Education
These translated
documents, which have served to form and preserve our “great experiment,”
will be invaluable resources to the millions of Spanish-speaking residents of
our nation. You are to be commended for your role in this most worthy effort.
Ruth
J. Winerfeld, former Chair, League of Women Voters
The editor of the
Commission’s newsletter provided the enclosed copies reporting your
presentation to Chief Justice Burger. If a picture is worth 10,000 words, your
presentation was a major story! (I’m serious because there is heavy
competition each month for space in the newsletter.)
