Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker. John F. Kennedy spoke of a nation of immigrants. Walt Whitman wrote of a teeming nation of nations. and Nell Diamond sings of coming to America. America is known as a melting pot. but fortunately its contents are anything but bland. It contains variety. color and spice. America continues to be blessed by those who come from foreign countries and who are attracted to the opportunities that only a free society can offer. I met one such person last week in the House Members dining room. He is from Argentina and has been in this country about 3 years. and he is working as a waiter so that he can earn enough money to complete his college education.
