                        Thursday, July 12, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Polish 
American Congress, Ohio Division, for their many years of service to 
the Polish-American community in the great State of Ohio.
  The Polish American Congress, since its founding in 1944, has been a 
symbol of the strong relationship between the United States and Poland, 
and a testament to the contributions of the rich Polish culture.
  For many years the Polish American Congress has worked to unite and 
to support Americans of Polish origin in the United States, regardless 
of political, religious, or other affiliation. This great organization 
provides all Polish groups of Ohio the opportunity to express pride and 
celebrate their heritage and culture through educational, artistic and 
cultural events.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring the Polish 
American Congress, Ohio Division, for their continuing support of the 
Polish American people in Ohio, and for their important efforts in 
helping people to connect to their heritage.

                          ____________________
