Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Fullerton), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement after introduction of a resolution he cosponsored calling for Congressional recognition of the Lunar New Year:
“The Lunar New Year brings friends and family together for good food, festivities, and blessings for the new year. Asian Americans make up a vibrant part of the American story; it’s only right that the United States Congress recognizes the millions of people celebrating this joyous occasion. I look forward to celebrating the Year of the Rooster in my district this week.”
