It called on the President to issue a proclamation designating 1983 officially as the Tricentennial Year. Our resolution also established a Presidential Commission for the GermanAmerican Tricentennial to plan. encourage. develop and coordinate tricentennial activities. I might add that the Commission is ably led by former U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic. Kenneth Rush. and by businessman Horst Denk. a naturalized German immigrant who made good in this country. Several former Members and Members of the Senate. including myself. serve on this Commission. The Commission is busy preparing for the visit of German President Carstens. who will visit Philadelphia in October for official tricentennial observances marking the arrival of the Krefelders.
