Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Hardyal\nSingh, founder and president of the Ambedkar International Mission for\nhis many contributions to the Indian community. Mr. Singh is also the\npresident of the Federation of Indian Associations in New Jersey and\nsenior vice president of the Indian National Congress of North America.\n  Mr. Singh's latest accomplishment will be celebrated on December 6,\nwhich is the anniversary of the death of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. On this\nday, Mr. Singh will be honored for his efforts in naming a portion of\nTonnelle Avenue, between Kennedy Boulevard and Newark Avenue in Jersey\nCity as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Avenue.\n  Mr. Singh was the first Indian-American to be named a special deputy\nsheriff of Hudson County. He was successful in his campaign to have the\nIndian national flag raised at Jersey City City Hall. Mr. Singh's\ncontributions to the Indian community also include the role he played\nin renaming Public School No. 23 to Mahatma Gandhi School, and the\ndesignation of Mahatma Gandhi Day by Gov. Jim Florio. He led the drive\nto change the names of two Jersey City Streets to India Square and\nMahatma Gandhi Plaza. Mr. Singh was also instrumental in many programs\ndesigned to strengthen India-United States relations and increase\nAmerican understanding of Indian culture and traditions.\n  Mr. Singh obviously understands the importance of achieving a better\nunderstanding of Dr. Ambedkar and Gandhian values of life, peace and\nfriendship. These are values we must all remember to uphold so that we\ncan live together in harmony. I commend Mr. Singh for all of his hard\nwork in the community and for devoting so much time and energy to\nmaintaining Indian-United States relations. It is people like Mr. Singh\nwho really make a difference in our society.\n  Please join me in wishing the Ambedkar International Mission a\nsuccessful event and prosperous future. It gives me great pleasure to\nhave people such as Mr. Singh in my district. I salute Mr. Singh for\nhis many accomplishments and wish him much luck in the future.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1994-12-20-pt1-PgE19"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.40883710607886314, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
