I rise today to honor GermanAmericans and their contribution to the United States of America. In order to commemorate their accomplishments as citizens of America. I urge the President to designate October 6. 1993 as "GermanAmerican Day." German immigrants first arrived in Jamestown. VA. in October 1608. and founded Germantown. PA. on October 6. 1683. This event has already been commemorated as the "GemanAmerloan Tricentennial Celebration" and has been designated as such by congressional resolution and Presidential Proclamation. Since the arrival of German immigrants in the 17thoentury. GermanAmericans have contributed a great deal as a community. The number of American citizens of German descent has grown to over 60 million.
