Lech Walesa. When he jumped over the wall of the Gdansk Shipyard. he took Poland and the whole world with him. He told us that the visa issue is a question of honor for Poland. That day. we introduced a bill to once again stand in solidarity with the father of Solidarity by extending the visa waiver program to Poland. Last month. I had the honor of meeting with Polands new President. Lech Kaczynski. joined by my colleagues Senator LEVIN and Senator LUGAR. We reaffirmed and cemented the close ties between the Polish and American peoples. And we heard loud and clear that the visa waiver program remains a high priority for Poland. My friends. Poland is not some Communist holdover or thirdworld country begging for a handout.
