I certainly want to thank Representative RICHARDSON for introducing House Resolution 822. and I join my colleagues in their accolades on the Port of Long Beachs reaching their 100th anniversary and on their accomplishments. as they are a tremendous asset to California. Their leadership has been. as youve heard. exemplary. It has provided hundreds of thousands of jobs over the 100 years. Many of the longshoremen and stevedores are immigrants and live in our districts in Los Angeles. The fact is these ports and their workers are vital to all of our U.S. economy. As you have beard. they provide movement of 8.5 million containers. and 1 million jobs throughout the United States. not just in Los Angeles and in California.
