Mr. Speaker. we are about to resume a national dialog over modernization of our immigration laws. In this connection. I am always pleased to read or hear accounts of constructive achievements on behalf of our country by those who have decided to adopt our great land as their home. One such story of accomplishment by a new citizen from another land is the one of Carlos Almeida of San Leandro. Calif. Mr. Almeida came to this country in 1959 from San Miguel. Azores. where he was born. In the short time he has been here. he has made some remarkable contributions to the well being of his community and its people.
