                              BLACK APRIL

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, April 30 we will commemorate the 46th 
anniversary of Black April and the Fall of Saigon. On this day we are 
reminded of the pain of losing your homeland and the sacrifices made in 
the search for freedom from tyranny.
  When Saigon fell in 1975, thousands of families were forced to flee 
their home or be brutalized in reeducation camps. Today, the refugees 
of Vietnam are proud Americans who are a very important part of our 
community and our country.
  The United States must always be a beacon of hope to those without 
hope. We must continue to stand up for human rights and religious 
freedom around the world.
