I believe establishing English as a common language of Government will not only strengthen our nationalism but will stave off the multilingual wedge being driven into the heart of our Nation. Since 1920. Mr. Chairman. Nebraskas State constitution has held firm in maintaining English as the States official language. And. just as saying the Pledge of Allegiance is largely symbolic. so is the sense of pride among us for having a national language. Mr. Chairman. for 400 years immigrants from all across the globe have come to America. We come together as one Nation. with one language. for one people. under God. The English language has strengthened and sustained us in years past. as it will do so in the years to come.
