                RECOGNIZING ARAB AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I am deeply proud to serve not only as an 
unapologetic Arab-American woman in Congress but to represent one of 
the largest Arab-American communities in our country.
  That is why I am introducing a resolution recognizing April as Arab 
American Heritage Month. This month, we must recognize the rich 
history, culture, and achievements of Arab Americans all across our 
country.
  I know it has been an incredibly difficult time for many of our 
families, especially those with loved ones in Lebanon and Palestine. 
Even in the midst of pain and uncertainty, let us all continue to show 
up for each other, speak out against injustices, and care for each 
other with compassion and solidarity.
  Mr. Speaker, I am sure you will agree that this is the time and month 
to acknowledge Arab-American contributions, inventions, and support 
building businesses and showing up for communities and neighbors all 
across the country.
  To all the neighbors in southeastern Michigan and beyond, happy Arab 
American Heritage Month.
