Speaker. it is fitting that we should set aside this time in the House of Representatives to recall and honor the 48th anniversary of Ukrainian national independence. We do so because this day has special meaning to over 11/2 million of our citizens who trace their origin to the ancient nation of Ukraine. Well over a century ago Ukrainian immigrants began arriving on our shores. seeking a new life in freedom. They have prospered in our land and they have in turn made their full contribution to the building of our Nation. Today we find them and their descendants in every walk of American life. the professions. the sciences. the arts. in education. in government. in industry and business. and in great farming enterprises.
