                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. JOHN J.H. ``JOE'' SCHWARZ

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 22, 2006

  Mr. SCHWARZ of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join my 
colleagues in support of President Bush's proclamation declaring May 
2006 as Jewish American Heritage Month.
  Jewish American Heritage Month recognized the wonderful cultural 
heritage of the Jewish people in America. It will be a time to honor 
all of the benefits and successes that Jewish Americans have 
experienced as well as recognizing the achievements and the diversity 
their culture has provided to the United States.
  Jewish American Heritage Month will also provide a venue for 
education of the Jewish American culture. It allows an opportunity to 
further educate and ultimately end anti-Semitism for future 
generations.
  Today, I join my colleagues as well as President Bush to establish 
the month of May to observe and celebrate the rich history of the 
Jewish people in America and honor the great contributions they have 
made to our country.
