Mr. Speaker. today I am reintroducing my Declaration of Official Language Act. a bill I introduced in the last Congress. This legislation establishes English as the official language of government. requires that naturalization ceremonies be conducted solely in English. repeals the federal bilingual education requirements and repeals bilingual voting requirements. My own State of Arizona is a crossroads for people of all sorts of backgrounds. I am reminded every day that America. like Arizona. has been enriched by the contributions of people from all over the world. This unified nation of immigrants has been made possible because we have a common national tonguethe English language. We only need to look to the nation to our north. Canada. to realize that a common language is not to be taken for granted.
