He moved to Chicago after being tortured by the Gestapo and detained at AuschwitzBirkenau and Buchenwald. He attended Loyola University in my district and travelled to the U.S.S.R. with President Nixon. I am proud that he will be honored on Saturday. The United States and Poland share a deep bond. We need to strengthen that relationship by increasing opportunities for travel and cultural exchange. I am proud to support Polands proposed inclusion in the Visa Waiver Program. This would promote shortterm travel between our countries. encouraging cultural and political ties as well as easing travel for families with members in both countries. Polish Constitution Day is a time to celebrate our Polish American community.
