Lets promote and encourage the use of a unifying language. and lets make sure that every American has the opportunity to learn English and to fully participate in our society. The legislation introduced today will not stifle or prohibit the use of languages other than English in this country. It will not ask immigrants to give up their varied cultures and native languages. What this bill would do is reaffirm that one language above all others is the common tongue. the unifying element in our society. and it is the one language in which our official business should be conducted. As Americans. we should not remain strangers to each other. but must use our common language to develop a fundamental and open means of communication and to break down artificial language barriers. By preserving the bond of a unifying language in Government. this Nation of immigrants can become a stronger and more unified country.
