Thank you, Bev, for your leadership and your active involvement in this great program. As a former Ambassador, I am acutely aware of the power of personal interaction and people making a difference to bridge the cultural divide. This is, indeed, a great program for our association. Not all of our programs focus exclusively on former Members, as you may already have discerned. As was mentioned earlier, we have a number of projects that benefit from former-Member leadership but involve primarily current Members and their peers overseas. We call these programs Congressional Study Groups, and our focus is on Germany, Turkey, Japan, and Europe as a whole. To give you more background about the Congressional Study Groups, I invite former Member Bart Gordon of Tennessee to the dais. Bart, maybe you will give us a synopsis.

Thank you very much. Thank you, Dennis. This is a great surprise. It reminds me of something that Will Shakespeare--and I think really it was his wife who wrote it--who said: For these great blessings heaped upon me, I can nothing render…
