It was nearly 200 years ago that the people of Norway proclaimed their independence as a free nation, and each year on May 17, Norwegians all over the world celebrate the day that their constitution was signed--with parades, traditional food, and other festivities. The United States and Norway have a very special bond. Our traditions of human rights and freedom and also of democracy are woven into the very fabric of our shared history, and over the last two centuries, the people of Norway have contributed greatly to the success and prosperity of our global community. As cochair of the House Friends of Norway Caucus, I would like to send our best wishes to the people of Norway as they celebrate this year's Syttende Mai today, and I would like to reaffirm the friendship between our two nations as we work together on important issues ahead. ____________________
