This is one factor that has caused the Soviet Government to disperse millions of Ukrainians throughout the Soviet Union. This day holds a special meaning for over 11/2 million of our citizens who trace their origin to the nation of Ukraine. Well over a century ago Ukrainian immigrants began arriving on our shores. seeking a new freedom. Today we find them and their descendants in all walks of American life making a tremendous contribution to our country. The State of Illinois is especially privileged in having a large number of UkrainianAmericans among her citizens. and many of the Ukrainian organizations are headquartered in the Seventh Congressional District of Illinois which I have the honor to represent.
