Mr. Speaker. as U.S. citizens we celebrate and enjoy a diversity which is unique to our Nation and very much a part of our identity as Americans. And I. as the grandson of immigrants. strongly believe that knowledge of foreign languages and cultures is of the highest value. Yet. in embracing our cultural diversity we should also not forget the importance of our primary language. Our common language. English. creates a strong bond among all Americans and serves as a means to bridge historical and cultural differences and unite us as a nation. As a cosponsor of legislation to affirm English as the official language of the United States.
