It simply states that English is the language in which all official U.S. Government business will be conducted. Official English does not infringe on individual rights. nor does it prevent immigrants from preserving their cultures and languages in their personal lives. It does. however. encourage immigrants to learn English in order to fully participate in Government. I encourage all my colleagues to support this nonpartisan. overwhelmingly popular piece of legislation. As Members of Congress. we have an obligation to ensure that nonEnglish speaking citizens have an incentive to learn English so they can prosper and fully partake of all the economic. social. and political opportunities that exist in this great country.
