Mr. Chairman. I am not ashamed to be the son of immigrants. I am proud of the fact that I am and that this country has made it possible for me to serve in this body of the U.S. Congress with only an eighthgrade education. However. I have one language. and I say that every American in grammar school should study English. I have gone out to California. and I know Spanish Americans or Mexican Americans who have been there for two generations and still do not speak English. Why? Because they did not apply themselves. The schools are here.
