Madam President. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my congratulations to the Svoboda on its centennial anniversary. 100 years ago today. the first Svoboda. the official newspaper of the Ukrainian National Association. rolled off the press. Since then. the Svoboda has provided hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian immigrants. in their native language. with information about the United States and the world. The Svoboda. meaning Liberty. is the oldest ethnic newspaper in the United States. It has also been the catalyst for the creation of numerous organizations which have provided. without U.S. Government assistance. for the educational. social. and cultural needs of the UkrainianAmerican community.
