Speaker. the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Steuben Society of America. which we commemorate today. is an occasion which is most worthy of recognition by the Congress of the United States. and so I am most pleased to join with other colleagues in extending to the officers and members of the society my congratulations upon the completion of a half century of service to our country and to Americans of German descent. The role of voluntary citizens organizations. Mr. Speaker. is an important one in our free society. The accomplishments of organizations such as the Steuben Society has contributed memorably to the growth and development of this "nation of immigrants" and have helped to assure that our people will continue to be blessed by the strengths which flow from diversity within unity. The Steuben Society was founded by Americans determined to build an enduring organization. one which was based on principles as lasting as the U.S. Constitution.
