Mr. Speaker. since the late 1800s. millions of immigrants have passed through Ellis Island to reach the United States. Today. we are the most culturally diverse nation in the world. As a nation comprised of a huge cross culture of ethnic groups and languages. we must not remain strangers to each otherwe must be able to communicate. I am an original cosponsor of the Language of Government Act. a statute to declare English as the official language of the United States. By designating English as the official language we will create a common channel of communication for all cultures in our Nation.
