                 CONGRATULATING KOREAN CULTURAL CENTER

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DOLD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Korean 
Cultural Center of Chicago on the grand opening of a new cultural 
center in Wheeling. Because of the hard work and determination of the 
Korean Cultural Center, its president, Younghee Kang, and her staff, 
and its board of directors and supporters, we now have a focal point 
for the Korean-American community in the Chicago area.
  The story of the Korean immigrant is an important part of Illinois' 
history, and we are fortunate to now have a facility that is a 
repository and exhibition of that story. The new cultural center will 
add a rich cultural tradition to the village of Wheeling, and will also 
benefit the neighboring communities. I hope it will also serve to 
strengthen the important relationship between the United States and the 
Republic of Korea.
  The opening of this new center is the culmination of many years of 
effort and is a cause for great celebration. Congratulations and best 
wishes on many years of success.
