Ten staff members who represent the Judiciary Committees from both the United States Senate and House of Representatives were in Poland December 3-5 to talk about U.S.-Polish cooperation in tackling the drug and drug trafficking problem.
The stop is the last on a trip that began November 30 and also included visits to Germany and Italy.
The delegation was investigating large-scale drug trafficking organizations; ways to stop illegal drug shipments destined for the EU and the U.S.; and ways to help build the law enforcement capabilities of Allied nations.

While in Poland, they had a working lunch at the residence of the US Ambassador to Poland with members of the Polish National Police's Criminal Investigation Bureau.
