These are ll students. and I think the Members might have surmised from reading the names that they come from very diverse backgrounds. It was the most diverse team to appear at the national contest. I might point out that in the 11th Congressional District. my congressional district. when the census was taken in 1930. 150.000 people hsted themselves as being noncitizens. 150.000 out of a total 682.000. So I have one of the highest noneitizen populations of all the congressional districts. The 130.000 came forward and indicated they were not citizens. so they were legal immigrants. I assure the Members. the illegal Immigrants did not come forward. So we have 150.000 of the 1990 legal immigrants. The diversity of my district is reflectod in the names of these children. My district has Cambodians. there are Chinese. there are Pakistani. there are a whole array of people from all of the islands of the Caribbean. we have Haitians.
