                           THE AMERICAN DREAM

  (Mr. CLARKE of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I am here to talk about the 
American Dream.
  The American Dream, that's what motivated the Asian American hotel 
owners to come to this country. Many of those hotel owners came here 
under circumstances similar to that of my dad. They came here to live 
the American Dream, but not just for us. By providing over half a 
million jobs to Americans throughout this great country, the Asian 
American Hotel Owners Association helped to provide the American Dream 
to all of us.
