Mr. President. AmerIca is a generous nation. For decades she has opened her arms to immigrants coming to her shores in search of a dream. I am a descendant of some of those immigrants as are many of my colleagues in this body. A strong ethnic sense has survived among many people in this country. yet we share a common feeling of unity and pride in our Nation. Historically. inmigrants arrived on our shores eager to learn our language and culture. These new Americans taught their native tongue and traditions to their children while embracing "the American way of life." In 1967 Congress passed the Bilingual Education Act which President Johnson signed into law on January 2. 1968.
