IrishAmericans have made significant contributions in American business. law. music. athletics. literature. religion. and politics. In fact. U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. considered by many to be the greatest Presidential orators in their respective political parties this century. are both from IrishAmerican families. Perhaps. though. the legacy of the Irish Famines immigration wave to America is most evident in our everyday lives. Today. 5 million of New Jerseys 8 million inhabitats claim some Irish descent. as do millions of other Americans. The resolution put forth today by myself and Representative MEMENDEZ recognizes the contributions made by IrishAmericans to our greater American heritage.
