Mr. Speaker. many generations of immigrants from around the world have contributed to the rich cultural diversity of our country. and I would like to take this opportunity to draw to your attention the accomplishments of one such immigrant who brought a bit of her homeland to America. Sunday. May 4. the Tirolesi Alpini of Hazleton. PA. honored their founder. Mrs. Amelia DeFant Braskie. at their 18th annual Festa Tirolesa. It is a pleasure for me to join with this fine organization of Old World culture in commemorating Mrs. Braskie for her efforts in establishing the Tirolesi Alpini. In 1920 and at the age of 13.
