In honoring the Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, President Bush welcomed a group of Asian Americans in the East Room, White House on May 17. He remarked on the contributions of Asian/Pacific Americans, quality education, trade, terrorism, and 245(i), immigration reform, which will allow families to stay together. Said President, America is "a diverse nation, a nation with 13 million Americans of Asian or Pacific Island heritage. What a great country, to welcome such diversity. Whether you're here by birth, or whether you're in America by choice, you contribute to the vitality of our life." Chinese-Americans who attended the event include Elaine Chao, John Tsu, Russell Wong, and Congressman David Hu.
