                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 12, 2000

  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to recognize the 20th Anniversary World Congress, which is 
organized by the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences (SVU), under 
the auspices of the Czech and Slovak Embassies and in close cooperation 
with American University, scheduled for August 9-13, 2000, in 
Washington, D.C.
  The central theme for this World Congress is: ``Civil Society and 
Democracy into the New Millennium.'' It will feature speakers from both 
sides of the Atlantic and it promises to be the pivotal event of the 
year 2000 for those interested in things Czech or Slovak.
  The three day program at American University will comprise numerous 
discussion panels and symposia, covering practically every aspect of 
human endeavor from the arts and humanities to social and behavioral 
sciences, and science and technology.
  I am indeed proud to salute the efforts of the organizers and 
particularly would like to commend the efforts of Mr. Eugene L. Krizek, 
a resident of my congressional district, for his generous and untiring 
efforts on behalf of this project.

                          ____________________
