I am pleased to join with other House colleagues in honoring Norway on this landmark day in the life of this brave and goodhearted nation. As you know. Mr. Speaker. very many of us in Minnesota are the sons and daughters. grandsons or granddaughters of the wonderfully independent. selfreliant people of Scandinavia. These immigrants from Norway and the other countries of the far north brought with them to our shores attributes of character which have been a rich and welcome heritage to America. They brought such priceless gifts as a hardy. independent spirit. great industriousness. lofty courage. warm compassion. and a sense of high purpose. It is virtues like these which have made the building of our country possiblewhich have made America great.
