                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the important work 
of the Ukrainian Service of the Voice of America.
  VOA's Ukrainian Service has been a crucial source of news and 
information for the people of Ukraine for 65 years. Throughout Russia's 
campaign of aggression against Ukraine, VOA's Ukrainian Service has 
been an important source of news, information and discussion about the 
year-long crisis. Every week, VOA's Ukrainian Service reaches millions 
of people in Ukraine and through its daily reporting on U.S. politics, 
foreign policy, social issues, business, culture and the arts, VOA 
provides comprehensive, accurate and authoritative information that 
Ukrainians can employ in strengthening their nascent democracy, market 
economy and independent statehood.
  I congratulate VOA Ukrainian for 65 years of service to the Ukrainian 
people and for all it is doing to strengthen ties between the U.S. and 
Ukraine.
