Chargé d'Affaires John Cloud led a briefing for U.S. participants of the 23rd annual Congress Bundestag/Bundesrat Staff Exchange Program. Every year 10 staff members each from the U.S. Congress and German Bundestag travel for a two-week program incorporating high-level discussions on both foreign and domestic policy. This year's program, coinciding with the call for early elections in Germany and the French 'no' vote on the European constitution, was particularly enlightening as a new crop of congressional staff members received first-hand exposure to key German/European policy debates.
