Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to an extraordinary young man. Chi Luu. of Elmhurst. in Queens County. NY. Chi Luu is a courageous Vietnamese refugee who fled his native Saigon 5 years ago. When he arrived in the United States in November 1979. he could not speak a word of English. Today. Chi Luu is fluent in English and is about to pursue an advanced degree in electrical engineering. Mr. Speaker. 2 weeks ago. Chi Luu was hailed as the valedictorian of the City College of New York. The 25yearold student addressed 1.700 graduates and their guests at the City College commencement ceremony. and gave thanks to his family. the college faculty. and to his new country.
