Mr. Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues here in Congress in pausing to remember the great achievements of Christopher Columbus on this. the first national holiday dedicated to his memory. Columbus was a prophecy of Americans to comethe immigrant who uprooted himself from his homeland in search of opportunities. This is the legacy of Columbusour land dedicated to the principle that all men have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The dauntless spirit of this great Genoese navigator has profoundly shaped the destiny of the American Nation. As Emerson said: Every ship that comes to America got its chart from Columbus.
