Speaker. as a proud member of the ItaloAmerican delegation in the House. I would like to call the attention of my colleagues to another gentleman who shares this fine heritage and who is being honored today by the U.S. Postal Service in San Mateo. Calif. A 21cent postage stamp is being issued today in honor of Amedeo Peter Giannini who was the founder of regional branch banking in America. Mr. Giannini. like myself. was the American born son of Italian immigrant parents. He retired from active participation in his family produce business to establish a branch of the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. Calif.. in 1904.
