                  RECOGNIZING CONSTITUENTS FROM INDIA

  (Mr. McCORMICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McCORMICK. Madam Speaker, I rise on this occasion to appreciate 
my constituents, especially those who have immigrated from India. We 
have a very large portion of my community that is made up of almost 
100,000 people who have immigrated directly from India.
  One out of every five doctors in my community are from India, they 
represent some of the best citizens we have in America. We should make 
sure that we streamline the immigration process for those who come here 
to obey the law, pay their taxes, and be the most creative and 
productive in society.
  Although they make up about 1 percent of American society, they pay 
about 6 percent of the taxes. They are amongst the top producers, and 
they do not cause problems, they follow the laws. They don't have the 
problems that we see other people have when they come to the emergency 
room for

overdoses, depression, and anxiety because they are the most 
productive, most family-oriented, and the best of what represents 
American citizens.
  God bless my Indian constituents. I look forward to meeting with the 
ambassador. God bless Dr. Kulkarni as she finishes her appointment as 
Consulate General of India to Atlanta.
