  Mr. ELLISON. Madam Speaker, Indian Americans have contributed greatly 
to the vibrancy, creative thought, and diversity of our Nation. The 
large and growing population of Indian Americans in Minnesota has 
enriched our neighborhoods and communities and continues to play an 
important role in improving the lives of all Americans. It is with 
these advances in mind that we celebrate the growth of relations 
between the United States and India and look forward to promoting a 
closer friendship amongst our two countries.
  I'm proud to join the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian 
Affairs and look forward to working with my fellow Members of Congress 
through the promotion of our shared values and concerns. I stand with 
India and Indian Americans in promoting peace, prosperity, and 
happiness for all the world's people.
