                       Thursday, January 10, 2019

  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Nguoi Viet 
Daily News, the first and largest daily newspaper published in 
Vietnamese in the United States, and its 40 years of success.
  Nguoi Viet Daily News was initially established as a weekly four-page 
newspaper by Mr. Yen Ngoc Do in 1978. On December 15, 1978, the first 
issue was dated and printed in Mr. Do's garage. With his own savings, 
he was able to finance the press run of 2,000 copies and distributed 
them in San Diego, California. In 1985, the publication officially 
became ``Nguoi Viet Daily News'' and was relocated to Santa Ana. In 
2004, Nguoi Viet Daily News became the only Vietnamese newspaper to be 
audited and certified by the Verified Audit Circulation.
  Today, Nguoi Viet Daily News also publishes other editions including: 
Nguoi Viet North-East, Nguoi Viet Houston, Nguoi Viet San Francisco, 
and Nguoi Viet Utah. Having its headquarter located in Westminster, 
Orange County and two other locations in San Gabriel and Gardena, Los 
Angeles, where many Vietnamese Americans reside, Nguoi Viet Daily News 
produces an average of 13,736 copies per day and has 50-60 readers 
accessing its online news per day.
  After four decades, Nguoi Viet Daily News remains the largest 
Vietnamese newspaper in the United States as it continues to make 
significant impacts on the Vietnamese American population overseas. On 
Nguoi Viet Daily News' 40th anniversary, it is with great pleasure that 
I commend Nguoi Viet Daily News for their devotion and contributions to 
the Vietnamese community.
