Lech Walesa. When he jumped over the wall of the Gdansk shipyard. he took Poland and the 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. Two months ago. I had the honor of meeting with Polands new President. Lech Kaczynski. We reaffirmed 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. The people of Poland dont understand. and frankly neither do I. why France is among the 27 countries of the Visa Waiver Program but Poland is not. Poland. whose troops joined us in the opening days of war in Iraq. Nine hundred Polish troops stand with us there today.
