  Mr. KIM. Madam Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the 40th 
anniversary of the Korean School of Southern New Jersey.
  Since its founding in 1979, the Korean School of Southern New Jersey 
(KSSNJ) has been central to developing and strengthening ties in the 
Korean American community in New Jersey. The school focuses on teaching 
Korean cultural heritage and sharing it with the local community.
  KSSNJ provides various performing arts and culture classes, organizes 
community events, facilitates student competitions and offers exciting 
summer camp programs for their students. Over the years, the school has 
received numerous accolades for their outstanding work supporting 
Korean American youth, cultural heritage and classroom achievement.
  I am honored to be the first Asian American Member of Congress to 
serve the state of New Jersey, and the only Korean American to be 
currently serving in Congress. I am proud of the work that KSSNJ has 
done to bring the Korean American community together in Southern New 
Jersey, and to help develop the next generation of Korean American 
leaders. I wish them continued success in the many years to come.

                          ____________________
