Mr. President. I am pleased to introduce. along with my colleague from Indiana. Mr. LUGAR. Senate Joint Resolution 118. which designates October 6 as "GermanAmerican Day." For over 300 years. the German people have contributed toward the growth of American culture. Since the arrival of the first German immigrants on October 6. 1683. in Germantown. PA. GermanAmericans have enriched our Nation with the benefits of their frugal labor and creative endeavors. Many of the phenomenon now considered "all American" have been the result of German influence. Hot dogs descended from German cuisine. blue jeans were invented by GermanAmerican Levi Strauss. baseball boasts the accomplishments of GermanAmerican Babe Ruth. and our ancestors forged their way across the American frontier by way of the German Conestoga wagon.
