Mr. Speaker. I rise today to commemorate May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. There are over 15 million Asian Americans living In the United States. from the early Chinese. Japanese. Korean and Filipino immigrants to recent Vietnamese. Laotian and Hmong communities. The United States has benefited many ways from the contributions of these diverse cultures. Through the telling of the Asian Pacific American experience. we illuminate the quality of opportunity that makes our country the wonderful place it is. From community involvement to business entrepreneurship. many Americans of Asian descent came to this country with very little and have been able to achieve the American Dream.
