          SUMMARY  :  Proclaims January 13, 2010, as Korean-American Day.

           The Senate amendments  make a minor change regarding the states  
          in which Korean Americans worked for mining camps and railroads.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , the resolution made the following  
          legislative findings:  

          1)On January 13, 1903, the history of Korean immigration to  
            America began as 102 courageous Korean men, women, and  
            children ventured across the Pacific Ocean aboard the S.S.  
            Gaelic to land in Hawaii.

          2)While the first Korean immigrants fought and sacrificed to  
            establish themselves in the United States, their children grew  
            up to be patriotic American citizens, served in the Armed  
            Forces of the United States during World War II, and made  
            other important contributions to mainstream America.

          3)As the Korean-American community prepares for a new era and  
            creates new history, Korean Americans must instill in the  
            upcoming generations an appreciation for and pride in their  
            own cultural heritage so that they may better contribute to  
            the great State of California.
