H.R. No. 1046
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Asian-Pacific Americans contribute vitally to
  communities across the United States, and the observance of
  Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month in May 2011 offers a fitting
  opportunity to recognize this diverse group of people; and
         WHEREAS, In 1990, President George H. W. Bush expanded the
  annual celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. from
  the first 10 days of May to the entire month; May was chosen to
  commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United
  States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the May 10, 1869, anniversary of
  the completion of the transcontinental railroad, which was built in
  large part by Chinese immigrants; and
         WHEREAS, Since the early waves of Asian immigrants in the
  19th century, people from throughout the Asian continent and the
  Pacific Islands have made the United States their home;
  Asian-Pacific Americans number more than 15 million and have
  distinguished themselves through their service in the U.S.
  military, their business and professional endeavors, their
  community involvement, their cultural traditions, and their strong
  bonds of family; and
         WHEREAS, Asian-Pacific Americans have made a positive and
  lasting difference to the Lone Star State and the country as a
  whole, and the celebration of Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month
  acknowledges and promotes the immeasurable benefits of living in a
  truly diverse society; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize May 2011 as Asian-Pacific American
  Heritage Month and encourage all citizens to learn more about the
  history and achievements of Asian-Pacific Americans.
