The United States was instrumental in calling for a conference to be held in Vienna to debate the future of Austria. On September 26. 1945. this conference was convened between the Allies and the representatives of the nine Austrian Federal States. during which a treaty was signed that rescued Austria from a fate similar to that of the Sovietoccupied European countries and a divided Germany. The resolution I propose today. commemorates the sacrifices Americans made for Austria after World War II. as well as contributions that Austrian immigrants and Americans and Austrian decent have made to the American way of life in industry. education. government. culture. and the arts. AustrianAmericans that have earned the Nobel Prize include Victor Franz Hess in physics. Karl Landsteiner in medicine. and Friedrich von Hayek in economics.
