                       CELEBRATING LUNAR NEW YEAR

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate Lunar New 
Year, Seollal, and Tet Festival as we ring in the new Year of the 
Dragon, symbolizing strength, power, and good fortune.
  I wish success, opportunities, happiness, and good changes for you 
and your family this new year.
  In Congress, I will embody the fighting spirit of the dragon to keep 
breaking through the partisan gridlock and delivering results to keep 
our communities safe and prosperous, make life more affordable, and 
expand opportunities for Americans to achieve their dreams.
  Please allow me to offer best wishes to everyone in different Asian 
languages:
  Korean: ``saehae bok mani badeuseyo''
  Mandarin: ``Xin nian kuai le''
  Cantonese: ``Gong hei fat choy''
  Vietnamese: ``Chuc Mung Nam Moi''.
  Happy new year.
