I want to thank my esteemed colleague. the delegate from American Samoa. ENI FALEOMAVAEGA. for his leadership in organizing this event and for giving us this opportunity to share with the Congress and the American people more about our experiences as AsianPacific Americans. Like the many immigrants from the West. those who have come to this country from Asia and the Pacific bring with them a rich cultural heritage that has become a part of the complex and diverse set of traditions. mores. values. and customs that make up American culture. From first generation Americans who fled their homeland because of political strife to third. fourth. and fifth generation Americans whose ancestors came many years ago to seek their fortune in this new land of opportunity. AsianPacific Americans have enriched and enhanced this country.
