Dear Friend of
Polish Americans,
The POLISH
AMERICAN CONGRESS
invites you to
a Congressional Briefing:
Poland's Painful Past
and Promising Future
which will take
place
at 4 p.m. on
Monday, May 20, 2019
in 121 Cannon
House Office Building,
Washington D.C.
20003.
Professor Marek Jan Chodakiewicz, who
holds the Kościuszko Chair at the Institute of World Politics in
Washington, DC, will deliver an overview of Poland's turbulent
history from the early 18th century to the present.
Mr. Ian Brzezinski, former Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State of Defense for Europe and NATO
Policy 2001-2005, and Resident Senior Fellow, Transatlantic
Security Initiative, Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security
at the Atlantic Council, will describe the Three Seas
Initiative, which is the economic and social component of a
strong and sovereign East Central Europe.
The Three Seas Initiative, with
investment by Western European and United States businesses,
especially those in the energy sector will make the lands
bordering the Baltic, Black, and Adriatic Seas free from
dependence on Russian natural gas. The Three Seas Initiative,
launched in 2015 by Poland and Croatia, intends to integrate the
economies of the countries in this zone on a north-south axis to
do for Eastern Europe what Western Europe achieved by the late
1950s in order to make all Europe whole and free. The Three Seas
Initiative is a great opportunity for American business. This
initiative will promote a more prosperous and secure Europe
which will be a better trading partner for the United States.
I look forward to seeing you at 4 p.m. on
Monday, May 20, 2019 in 121 Cannon House Office Building at the
Congressional Briefing: Poland's Painful Past
and Promising Future.
Sincerely,
John Czop, Director of Policy Planning
