 HONORING NGUOI-VIET DAILY NEWS FOR ITS 31 YEARS OF SERVICE IN LITTLE 
                                 SAIGON

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Nguoi-Viet Daily News for its 31 years of media service in Orange 
County, California. Nguoi-Viet Daily News was the first and the largest 
daily newspaper published in Vietnamese in the United States, and it 
was founded by Mr. Do Ngoc Yen in 1978.
  While its first 4-page issue, dated back on December 15, 1978, was 
printed in Mr. Do's garage, today he has more than 60 employees and a 
daily circulation of 18,000, and Nguoi-Viet online edition is among the 
most widely read services with 1.5 million hits a month.
  Nguoi-Viet News has provided the Vietnamese community with appealing 
editorials and local and international news stories that highlight 
community service and activism while bringing the community together. I 
applaud Nguoi-Viet News for those important achievements for 31 years, 
and I look forward to its contribution in the next 31 years.
