  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Pan Icarian 
Brotherhood of America as they come together for their 106th Supreme 
Convention and in recognition of the significant contributions 
Americans of Greek Heritage have made to the Greater Cleveland 
Community and to our Nation.
  On this 106th anniversary of the organization's founding, I am 
honored and pleased that the Convention is being hosted by the 
Cleveland, Ohio Chapter. As many as fifteen hundred people of Greek 
descent will travel from

across the nation for this momentous occasion. We are very fortunate to 
live in a country that is rich with diversity and culture including a 
thriving Greek-American community. The Pan Icarian Brotherhood has 
passed down Greek traditions and practices. Greek-Americans have made 
invaluable contributions to their communities throughout the United 
States by participating in community service, social groups and sharing 
their history.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of the Pan 
Icarian Brotherhood of America on the occasion of their 106th Supreme 
Convention in Cleveland, Ohio and in recognition of the significant 
contributions Greek-Americans have made to our country.
