Mr. President. I rise today to cosponsor a resolution designating October 1992 as PolishAmerican Heritage Month. This legislation recognizes the substantial contributions of PolishAmericans to this country and the world. PolishAmericans have played an important role in the cultural development of American society. As a land of immigrants. America owes much to the ethnic groups which helped forge this Nation. The 6 million PolishAmericans and their ancestors who came here before them. have steered this country in numerous areas. PolishAmericans participate in the fields of science. education. entertainment. sports. and the arts. Individuals like Josef Hofman. a famous pianist and cofounder of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. and Jan Paderewski. a respected statesman and composer. have made great contributions to the growth of this country.
