                       Wednesday, April 25, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fresno 
Center for New Americans (FCNA) on their 10 year anniversary. Their 
work makes a critical difference in the community and the lives of many 
new Americans.
  The Fresno Center for New Americans is a non-profit organization that 
assists new Americans in becoming productive, self-fulfilled, and self-
sufficient members of the community. They also foster cultural 
preservation and promote cross-cultural understanding.
  FCNA was established in 1991 as a non-profit organization. The 
organization addresses a wide variety of social issues, including 
health education, employment assistance and placement, and 
acculturation services. FCNA's vision is to act as a resource to 
refugees and new Americans, and to contribute to their quality of life.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Fresno Center for New Americans 
for helping new citizens become productive members of our society. I 
urge my colleagues to join me in wishing the Fresno Center for New 
Americans many more years of continued success.
