SENATOR DE TON: I have read an article In the Intelligence Journal of Lancaster. PA. where I reside. about your proposal to make English the official language of the U.S. I support you fully on this and I feel it is long overdue for the Senate to take action on this matter. I am an Italian immigrant a U.S. citizen. who came to live In the United States In October 1946. I did not know one word of English and learning the language was not an easy task. It required willpower. overcoming mockery by others and discrimination in many fields.
