In discussions with my own constituents who are Sikhs. they have forthrightly and directly condemned all acts of violence. no matter by whom they are perpetrated. The Sikh people. like the Hindu people. are a dedicated and hardworking group. While Sikhs comprise only 2 percent of the population of India. they are responsible for producing 60 percent of Indias wheat reserve and more than a quarter of its gross national product. Mr. Speaker. the Sixth District of New Jersey has a long heritage of welcoming and assimilating immigrants from all over the world. We are blessed with the strength which that diversity offers. The Sikhs are one of the newest such groups.
