Fishing was done only during the summer daylight hours with a technique only wellunderstood by these fishermen of Japanese descent. All in all. Mr. Speaker. it can easily be said that the Japanese immigrants who first came to Oregon contributed to the States growth and development in a far greater proportion than their numbers would indicate. Overcoming a deep cultural barrier and stiff prejudice. these Japanese went on to become outstanding American citizens with a strong sense of accomplishment and true pride in this country. Their sons and daughters and grandchildren carry on this tradition today. and I am pleased to salute them.
