Speaker. I rise today in recognition of Hiliary Williams. an 11yearold attending Yarmouth Intermediate School In Yarmouth. ME. who is this years eastern region winner of the Immigration and Naturalization Services 1990 National Poster Contest. Last Friday. Hilarys entry took third place nationally at a ceremony held for the regional winners at the Department of Justice. The INS contest in which Hilary participated calls the attention of young people to an American experience which ancestors of most of us share. whether those ancestors arrived in the 1630s or the 1930s. whether they were escaping religious or ethnic persecution or seeking economic prosperity In the "Land of Opportunity." Hiliarys colorful entry showcases this immigrant experience. Though I am unable to show you her artwork. I would like to share wth you the content of the 50word essay she submitted to accompany her poster.
