I rise today to express my strong support for H.R. 123. legislation that would establish English as the official language of the United States. I believe that English should be the official language of the Federal Government with rules. decisions and laws for the record conveyed in English. As a cosponsor of several English First bills. I would like to commend Representative CUNNINGHAM and the leadership for bringing this important legislation to the floor. The United States has long been a nation of immigrants. The fact that our country Is a collection of different nationalities necessitates some sort of unifying factor in order to provide a national identify. A common language provides that unifying factor.
