Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of House Resolution 145 which expresses the sense of the House of Representatives who designated the week of June 7. 1981 "National ItalianAmerican Heritage Week." Our countrys history books are filled with names of outstanding Italian Americans who worked and fought to make our Nation one of the greatest in the world. Over 5 million Italian immigrants have assimilated into our society and have become productive members of our Nation. I feel therefore it is only fitting that this body designated June 7. 1981. to honoring the many contributions of the ItalianAmerican community to our culture. history. and traditions which all Americans now share.o
