It is of some interest that there are many communities in Texas today where German is still spoken. and indeed many of us who come from those areas grew up speaking German rather than English at home. In the aftermath of the political turmoil of mid19th century Europe. German immigrants began to settle in Texas. Their descendants have maintained a closeknit community based upon a common cultural heritage. President Scheels address today not only reminds us of the many cultural and economic ties which Americans have with Germany. but reminds us also of the fact that the efforts of our Nation after the Second World War to help rebuild Europe were not lost.
