Their children are succeeding in our schools and going on to start their own businesses and bring up their families. making our community better and more prosperous by far. I traveled and led a congressional delegation to the Republic of Korea in August of 2004 to discuss the prosperous relationship between our two countries. The Republic of Korea is an important ally and trading partner of the United States. and this is why many Korean immigrants have chosen to make the U.S. their home. It is the United States seventh largest trading partner and is the third largest source of foreign students studying in the United States. In addition. the U.S. embassy in Seoul is the busiest American consular post in the world. I have been working diligently with the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security to help create a roadmap which will eventually admit Korea into the Visa Waiver Program. In closing. I want to remind my colleagues that it is all too easy to overlook the invaluable contributions that KoreanAmericans have made. not just in Northern Virginia but to our Nation as a whole.
