Thank God. His music spoke for itself and sounded for itself. And when we talk about television and what goes on the tube and what passes for reality and the series that we see and are exposed to that are supposed to reflect to us the ethnicity of certain groups. it is shameful that we do not give presence to this beautiful immigrant who gave his life. as the individual we honored last year. who painted the inside of this Capitol and wound up with nothing in his pocket at the end of it. These are the people that made America. Not the people that get whacked on series. And thank God it is going to be over pretty soon. So we celebrate the accomplishments of Gian Carlo Menotti not just for Italians. not just for Italian Americans. but for all of us. We are all immigrants. We are all immigrants. And so we say that word respectfully as we move towards the discussion and the debate about what our immigration policy will be later on in this year. And hopefully we will come to salient solutions which reflect the best of our immigrant population. every group. regardless of which continent you came here from. So thank you. Madam Congresswoman. and thank you.
