I am pleased to join my House colleagues in support of the resolution designating the week of May 11. 1986. as "Jewish Heritage Week." The United States prides itself on its diverse heritage. This rich and colorful heritage results from the values and ideals brought to our Nation by the people of many cultures. races. and religions. Among these immigrants to our shores. the Jewish community contributed significantly to the cultural and spiritual growth of a new nation. Many members of the Jewish community have brought distinction and honor to virtually every field of endeavor. including the arts. humanities. and sciences. Our Jewish citizens have fought and died to preserve and protect the freedom for which the United States stands.
