The list of distinguished Italian Americans is long and impressive and they are known for contributions in every field of endeavor. In every area of our life. from our food to our music. we can be thankful for the steady stream of Italians who began moving westward to the New World since 1492. Christopher Columbus deserves to be remembered as the "Father of All Immigrants." From the very beginning this country has been indebted to the courage and sacrifice of the men of more than one nation. It is also fitting that we honor immigrants of all nationalities and acknowledge their contributions to the building of a strong. just and prosperous United States of America. Mr. Speaker. in paying tribute to Christopher Columbus we also reaffirm our faith in his spirit of courage. stamina. and determination to continue. undaunted and unafraid. in the enlightened pursuit of humanitarian goals and honorable objectives.
