I rise in support of House Joint Resolution 568. to urge the President to designate the week of October 1219 as Italian American Heritage Week. I am pleased to join my colleagues in recognizing the role that Americans of Italian descent have played in the development of this Nation. Italian immigrants have come and continue to come to America to seek better lives for themselves and their children. They bring with them the history of a rich culture that has. through the ages. been woven into the tapestry of civilization. We have only to walk through the halls of the Capitol and see the works of Brumidi to see that ours is a vivid. imaginative culture.
