This unity comes from a common language and a core public culture of certain shared values. beliefs. and customs which make us distinctly "Americans". The concerns that were expressed by the Senate Judiciary Committee are reflected in the concerns of thousands of citizens throughout this country. In fact. a new national organization has recently been created called U.S. English. The honorary chairman of this organization is former U.S. Senator S. I. Hayakawa. who speaks with a great deal of authority on this issue because he is an immigrant and distinguished scholar of semantics and languages. U.S. English refers to itself as "a national. nonprofit. nonpartisan organization ... founded to defend the public interest in the growing debate on bilingualism and biculturalism".
