President. in the 200 years after the first Acadians arrived in my State. their descendents have greatly contributed to the culture. history. and economic growth of Maine. But. they are at a crossroad. Their enemy now is not deportation but the possible loss of customs. oral history. folksongsto a modern age that all too often sacrifices the tradition of the past to the immediate. I want to thank Senator BuMPERS for his thoughtful consideration of this legislation. in scheduling a hearing and in working with me on the series of amendments to S. 1756 that have improved and strengthened the legislation. I also wish to thank the chairman of the Energy Committee.
