                       Monday, December 15, 2003

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to wish the membership of the 
Organization of Chinese Americans a healthy and happy New Year for the 
year 4702, the year of the Monkey.
  The New Year is a time for reflection and thanksgiving for the joys 
of life and loved ones and I am thankful for the richness that this 
organization brings to my region. Chinese Americans have made great 
contributions to Western Pennsylvania and to our Nation as a whole and 
I am very honored for this opportunity to wish them the best year yet 
in 4702.
  I encourage my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join 
with me in wishing the members of the Organization of Chinese Americans 
a very happy and prosperous New Year.
