I rise today to recognize Rockville. Maryland and Pinneberg. Germany on the 50th anniversary of their outstanding "Sister City" relationship. In 1983. the first official delegation from Pinneberg visited Rockville. and participated in a White House ceremony commemorating the 300th anniversary of German immigration to the United States. Over the past 50 years. individuals and groups from both cities. including police officers. students. politicians. sports teams. choruses and concert bands. have participated in exchanges that have left both sides richer in knowledge and understanding. I know these participants will never forget their experiences and the lessons they have learned from each other.
