“Lim Poon Lee came to these shores from Hong Kong as an infant. Like many immigrants, his family so loved this country and he spent his entire life in public service. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army as a counterintelligence specialist. He worked in the Public Welfare and Juvenile Court Systems in San Francisco. And Mr. Lee served as one of my predecessors in Congress and a friend to many of us here, Congressman Phillip Burton, as a field representative.”
