Sen. Lugar Introduces Legislation to Create a U.S.-Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange Program

On January 26, 2006, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, introduced legislation to develop a U.S.-Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange Program. The new program, if approved by Congress, would allow eligible participants to attend a public high school in the host country for one academic year, with an emphasis on studies in history, constitution and political development. Participants would be eligible, either during or after completion of their academic studies, for an internship in an “appropriate position” in the host country. The legislation, S. 2200, does not define the term “appropriate position.” The bill has been referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for further consideration. There are currently no cosponsors.
