Mr. Speaker. America has been called the melting pot of civilization. and for a good reasonwe are a nation of immigrants from every corner of the globe. The American landscape is a vast mosaic composed of many cultures and heritages. each contributing. individually and collectively. to our greatness. While all of us can look with pride on our heritage and its contribution to Americas greatness. we can and must realistically face the fact that in each group there are and have been those who detract from the goodness and greatness of contribution to the American way of life. To cite a trite phrasethere is always at least one bad apple in every barrel.
