Speaker. the Ukrainian National Association [UNA]. the oldest and largest UkrainianAmerican organization In the United States. celebrated its 100th birthday on February 22. 1994. I would like to convey my belated but heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to UNA on this proud achievement. Immigrants from Ukraine came here to work and to provide for their families. but. most of all. for freedom. UNA has helped many of them to make the difficult transition and to provide needed services for them as citizens of the United States. As we witness the twists and turns of political and economic events in the former Soviet Union. we often turn our attention to Russia. the single largest national State to emerge from the rubble of the Communist empire.
