Mr. Speaker. America is a nation of immigrants. The diversity of their origins and their tremendous vitality have helped to create a culture both incomparably richer and materially more prosperous than would otherwise have been possible. Although the history of immigration records that the vast wave of new Americans arrived late in the 19th century. there has been a steady trickle throughout the nearly four centuries since the first English speaking colony was founded on this continent. It is with pride and gratitude that we recognize today the 365th anniversary of the arrival of our first Polish Americans in what is now the United States. The Jamestown colony was first implanted in 1607 by a group of just over a hundred men. gentlemen adventurers for the most part. more interested in making a quick fortune in gold than planning a permanent settlement.
