Mr. Speaker. we are a nati)n of many ethnic groups. all of whom have contributed in many different ways to the growth and prosperity of our great Nation. As the son of Italian immigrants who came to this country through the gates of Ellis Island so many years ago. I find great pride that Italian Americans were the focus of an extraordinary film recently released by AnheuserBusch entitle. "Italian Americans: Descendants of a Great Culture." It is not possible for any one film to completely cover the broad range of contributions made by Italy to the work and to Americans of Italian descent to the building of a Nation. however. the AnheuserBusch film has managed to capture the heart. spirit. and pride of a people who have given us some of our greatest scientists. artists. educators. entertainers. soldiers. business leaders. politiciansand the list goes on and on. It may be of interest to note that today.
