                 ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Asian 
Pacific American Heritage Month. I want to honor Helen Ho Kim and the 
entire staff of the Asian American Legal Advocacy Center of Georgia.
  Based in the city of Norcross, part of which I represent, the center 
is dedicated to promoting the rights of Asian Americans in the 
Southeast. They protect and promote the civil, social, and economic 
rights of Asian Americans through policy, community organizing, 
leadership development, and legal education. The center strives towards 
individuals who are fully empowered, active in civic life, and working 
together to promote equity and fair treatment for all.
  The center is also proof that Asian and Pacific Islanders are part of 
every community in this country. As this month comes to a close, I 
encourage all Americans to take pride in the diversity of our country 
and to consider the contributions of Asian and Pacific Islanders in 
their communities.
