Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of House Joint Resolution 454. to provide for the development of Ellis Island as a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and for other purposes. Mr. Speaker. America is truly a nation of immigrants. Her heritage is unique. for in a sense. she is a part of all the nations of the world. To her shores have come literally millions of Europeans. Asians. Africans. and Latins. All come to be Americans. and to each America owes some part of her existence as a nation. These people made immeasurable contributions toward a better life for all of us.
