Mr. Speaker. the month of May is recognized as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. an important time to celebrate our Nations rich cultural diversity as well as the many accomplishments and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders all across our country. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are now the fastest growing racial group in the country. and today more immigrants come from Asia than from any other region in the world. As chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. or CAPAC. I have seen these growing numbers reflected here in Congress. where we now have 14 Asian American and Pacific Islander Members of Congress. which is a historic high.
