                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, On October 20, 1994, I will be honored to be 
in attendance at the 2d annual dinner and awards banquet of the 
Chaldean Federation of America.
  The Chaldean Federation of America has worked since 1980 to serve 
Chaldeans and our communities at large. The group has focused directly 
on improving race relations, as well as providing social services and 
programs to senior citizens and our youth. The Chaldean Federation of 
America continues to work with Chaldean-American youth to ensure that 
education is a top priority in their lives.
  The Chaldean Federation of America brings together 65,000 Chaldean-
Americans who reside in the Detroit area. The annual dinner allows 
Chaldean-Americans to gather to celebrate their cultural ancestry, and 
honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the 
Chaldean-American community. This year, the Chaldean Federation of 
America will honor our colleague, David Bonior, by presenting him their 
Civic-Humanitarian Award.
  Mr. Speaker, Chaldean-Americans continue to embrace and promote their 
ancestral culture, while contributing to America's ethnic diversity. I 
will be honored to be a part of the continuing role of the Chaldean 
Federation of America in furthering Chaldean cultural activities.
