On the recordFebruary 8, 1994
I think this is a most appropriate action for the Congress of the United States to take. This resolution gives a compelling case of the contributions of Irish-Americans to the United States throughout our history, from the very beginning up to date, and, for me it has meaning because of the fact that in my congressional district Tara Circle will soon be a substantial embodiment of a location where we can celebrate the heritage, the culture and the identity of Irish-Americans and their great contributions to this country. I congratulate my colleagues for bringing this measure before us today.
