Speaker. the people of Norway have made an outstanding contribution to human understanding. the freedom of all peoples. individual dignity. and international peace. Indeed. these characteristics of the Norwegian people have had considerable influence on this Nation. and particularly on the upper midwest States of Minnesota. Montana. and the Dakotas. Thousands of the sturdy. determined. and courageous immigrants who came to this Nation over the past century helped to carve out our own Sixth Congressional District. These men and women broke through the American frontier to build settlements. pushing west the borders of the American Nation. In Minnesota they found a land very much like their homeland: tall pines. rugged terrain. sparkling lakes and rivers. and a temperate climate.
