U.S. Senator Dick Lugar of Indiana introduced legislation in the U.S. Senate on
January 25 to establish a United States–Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange
Program. The bill would establish a program to demonstrate the benefits of
friendly cooperation between the U.S. and Poland to American and Polish youth.
In announcing the new legislation, Senator Lugar stated, “The United States and
Poland have enjoyed close bilateral relations since the end of the Cold War.
Most recently, Poland has been a strong supporter of efforts led by the United
States to combat global terrorism, and has contributed troops to and led
coalitions in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I believe that it is important to
invest in the youth of the United States and Poland in order to strengthen
long-lasting ties between both societies.”
