Speaker. I would like to draw the attention of my colleagues to the 15th anniversary on June 19th of the creation of the CongressBundestag Youth Exchange. In 1983. marking the 300 years of German immigration to the United States. the Congress and the German Bundestag created a unique program. the CongressBundestag Youth Exchange. This exchange was designed to ensure that the close ties of friendship and partnership which had developed between our two countres since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany would continue in successor generations. and to foster the relationship between our two national legislative bodies. In each of the past fifteen years. up to 800 American and German high school students and young professionals have taken part in this program.
