          TRIBUTE TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CULTURAL EXCHANGE

  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I rise today to call to the attention 
of the Senate the establishment of a formal relationship between the 
township of Princeton, NJ, and the village of Pettoranello, Italy.
  I must commend the citizens of both communities who worked to 
establish this sister-city relationship. This special link will 
increase communication and encourage future visits between the citizens 
of each town. There is no doubt that this exciting cultural exchange 
will provide those from both countries with an enriching experience 
that will last a lifetime.
  This program demonstrates the importance of understanding and 
accepting those from a variety of backgrounds. The globe has become a 
much smaller place because of explosive developments in technology. 
Therefore, we must take advantage of these developments by striving to 
better our understanding of those with whom we share the world. The 
sister-city relationship between the township of Princeton, NJ and 
Pettoranello, Italy, demonstrates a commitment to that exact goal.
  I applaud and salute all of you for your efforts.
