Frank Palencar. president of the Greater Lehigh Valley Slovak Association and to all Lehigh Valley SlovakAmericans for their kind invitation. Mr. Speaker. ethnic achievement and pride have always been one of the greatest sources of strength in our Nation. Nowhere is this more true than in the Lehigh Valley. In Lehigh and Northampton Counties. more than 100.000 citizens. or fully onefifth of our people. were foreign born. or have foreign born parents. Since coming to Congress. one of the things I have been most proud of is my work. as Congressman. toward encouraging ethnic pride. The key has been establishment of my Lehigh Valley Citizens Ethnic Advisory Council.
