Speaker. this year marks the 300th anniversary of Germans in America. I would like to share with my colleagues some of the many achievements this group of people has contributed. both individually and as a group. to the development of our Nation. Pennsylvanias Lehigh Valley is an area rich in industry agriculture. and great natural beautyin many ways similar to Germanys lovely valleys. It is easy to see. then. why so many German immigrants chose to settle in this area. I am proud to say that the Lehigh Valley has a large number of GermanAmericans. Many of the towns bear German namestowns like Hellertown.
