PAC – White House Conference Call

Spula emphasized that Poland has always been a friend of the United States from the very beginning of the American republic.  He underlined the importance of the relationship between the two peoples from a historical perspective as well as from the perspective of contemporary Polish American patriotism.

Spula also mentioned the fact the number of Polish troops in Iraq are same number as originally deployed, rather than less as was the case of a number of other U.S. allies, as well as the recent agreement between the United States and Poland to place the Missile Shield Defense System on Polish territory.

The White House representatives assured Spula that they would share the concerns of the Polish American Congress, as well the Polish American community as a whole, with President Bush.

Spula also noted that the President has two and a half months remaining in his administration and that, during that time, it would both useful and appropriate for him to suitably acknowledge, in deed if possible, the many contributions of the Polish community in the U.S. as well those in the Polish homeland to the security and prosperity of the United States of America.
