Mr. Speaker. Americas position of world preeminence today makes it easy to forget that her greatness was constructed with the labor of immigrants who renewed and invigorated our national life from its beginning. This makes it more difficult to see that even today foreign nations have much to contribute to our society. I am therefore pleased to note today the presence in this country of the first "Volunteers to America." a group of 68 young people from Latin America. Asia. the Middle East and Africa. They have recently begun 4 weeks of training which will be followed by a year of school teaching and community action assignments across the United States.
