I rise in support and as a cosponsor of H. Res. 487. supporting the goals and ideals of Korean American Day. This resolution marks the upcoming 103rd anniversary. on January 13. 2006. of the day that the first Korean immigrants arrived in the United States. Today we acknowledge and celebrate the economic. academic and cultural contributions made by the immigrant Korean community to the United States. Korean Americans have made a significant and positive impact in this country. in the proud tradition of immigrants that for generations have traveled to come to the United States. I am pleased to work with various Korean American groups in my State of Maryland that have helped new immigrants gain access to social services. health care. and continuing education programs that allow them to prosper in America. I am also pleased that many groups are working to assist qualified legal permanent residents to become U.S. citizens and to participate in local. State. and national elections.
