I thought Hiram Fong was the first Asian American in Congress.  I believe , if my memory from my American Histories class in high school serves me correctly, that Hiram Fong was sworn in to the United States Senate on August 21, 1959 a few days before Daniel Inouye was sworn in to the United States House of Representatives?  Both Houses make up Congress, although we refer to United States Representatives as Congressman.  Or am I wrong???
