H.R. 10397 to extend the authorization for appropriations for the Cabinet Committee on Opportunities for SpanishSpeaking People. As you know. the Spanish speaking constitute a very significant proportion of the population of this countryapproximately 12 million Spanishspeaking and Spanishsurnamed Americans and permanent residents of the United States. In my area I am very proud to claim as constituents a large Spanishspeaking population. including a large contingent of refugees from the Communist tyranny in Cuba. many Spanishspeaking citizens from Puerto Rico and many other Spanishspeaking residents and citizens from Latin American countries in North and South America. This Latin community greatly enriches our area. our culture. our community. and business life. There have been many criticisms of the Cabinet Committee on Opportunities for SpanishSpeaking People in the past but I feel we should not let these detract from the necessary purposes of the committee or distract us from our obligation to assure Spanishspeaking people a full opportunity to realize their talents for the benefit of the Nation. as well as for themselves and their families.
