Közélet MAGYAR SZÓ —A HÍD 17 Letter of Ambassadors to Members of Congress Regarding Visa Waiver Bővebb információkért, látogassa meg az Amerikai Magyar Szövetség honlapját! www.americanhumiarianfederation.oni - www.amsz.org May 24,2006 The United States is home to millions of European descendents, including those from our nations, who came here to live, to build, and to fight for this country. Their contributions are at the foundation of the success of the United States. This common heritage has always helped us create close ties and promote friendship and mutual understanding with the United States. In short, we share a histo­ry, values, and views as one large transat­lantic family. Today our countries are members of the European Union (EU) and NATO. Our economies are among the fastest growing in the world, based on the free market and the rule of law. We are free and open democratic societies dedicated to facing the threats and challenges of the 21st century. We are close friends the United States can rely on, operating fully as anti-terror allies. We are actively involved in all major coalition or allied operations worldwide. We are committed to promoting freedom and democracy. As members of NATO and the EU we work vigorously to strengthen our transatlantic partnership. The only remaining barrier to fully realizing the vast resources of our rela­tionship is our asymmetrical visa rela­tionship. We welcome the recent Santorum Amendment Number 4000 to the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill (S.2611). This amendment opens the door to our participation in the Visa Waiver Program under section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act for countries that meet certain criteria. With regard to the quantitative criterion ("material support") required by the amendment, we hope that the quality of the contributions of these countries on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan will be fully appreciated by Congress. We would like to underline that all of our countries have been involved in coalition operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and in NATO missions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere, e.g., in the Balkans. We feel that the Santorum Amendment would reflect the spirit of solidarity of our freedom-fighting coali­tion and our strong partnership with the United States, if it would recognize the considerable contributions of all our countries. We ask you on that basis to work to implement legislative changes, enabling us to participate in the Visa Waiver Program. Admitting our countries to the Visa Waiver Program will reinforce our MEGEMLÉKEZŐ ÉS TISZTELETADÓ IRODALMI DÉLUTÁN 558 ÉS 50 TÖRTÉNELMI ÉVFORDULÓINKRA 2006 június ll*éo vasárnap 14:30 órakor New York adomány S S 323E 82— Street Szentkereszt Görög Katolikus Templom JíOrewItMj l*L pu) 99Sá45S is >1 egyházaknál «vt—1 Érdekes megemlékezd és tiszteletadó irodalmi délutánt rendezünk nagy történelmi eseményeink hőseire való emlékezéssel 2006 június 11-én vasárnap délután 14:30 érakor New York-ban a Szentkereszt Görög Katolikus Templom templom-termében 323 east 82- ikutca. 550 és 50 évfordulók.
