With an early boost from the United States. they have worked hard to bring their country to its present state of economic and political wellbeing. Of course. the vigor and determination of the citizens of Italy come as no surprise to Americans. We have been enriched beyond measure by the immigration of millions of Italians to our shores throughout our history. From preRevolutionary times to the present day. the industry. vitality. and artistry of ItalianAmericans have contributed greatly to our national life. On behalf of Americans of Italian descent and of all Americans I am proud to extend best wishes for continued growth and prosperity to the people of Italy on this their Republics 22d anniversary.
