My message is to give you a little synopsis of the Congressional Study Groups for which the former Members are so noted. The association is pleased to oversee and to administer the Congressional Study Groups on Germany, Turkey and Japan, which create invaluable opportunities for current Members of Congress to engage with their counterparts in the legislative branches of those countries. The Congressional Study Group on Germany is the association's flagship international program, and it is the largest, most active parliamentary exchange program involving the U.S. Congress and the legislature of another country. Since its inception, which was almost 30 years ago, the study group has offered lawmakers a unique forum to discuss potential avenues of cooperation on issues ranging from the current economic global crisis to NATO's role in Afghanistan.
