“This resolution goes hand in glove with the one that we just took up. It commends the George Marshall European Center for Security Studies. Last year when we visited the NATO School in Oberammergau, we went then to the Marshall Center, which is located in Garmisch not far from Oberammergau, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, to highlight our interest as Members of Congress in what was happening and taking place in both the NATO School and in the Marshall Center there. The Marshall Center was formed in 1993 as a German-American partnership. The Marshall Center is a world-renowned international security and defense studies institute with the mission of creating a more stable security environment by advancing democratic institutions and relationships, especially in the field of defense; promoting peaceful security cooperation; and strengthening partnerships among nations of North America, Europe, and Eurasia. It is named after the legacy and vision of General George C. Marshall. The Marshall Plan, as we all remember after World War II, was a highly successful event, and the Marshall Center has a variety of unique courses and programs which involve officials from more than 110 countries.”
