November 23, 2004. Senator Richard Lugar, chairman of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his delegation met with German officials in Berlin on November 23, 2004. Meetings were held with Chancellor Schröder, Defense Minister Struck, State Secretary Scharioth and CDU party leaders. In a press roundtable Senator Lugar briefed journalists on his trip to Ukraine as President Bush's representative to the November 21 run-off elections.

Senator Lugar also took time to meet with German and American participants (current and former) of the Congress-Bundestag Youth and Staff Exchange programs and the members of the German parliament who support these programs. These programs, which send between 350 and 400 students and 10 staffers each year from both American and Germany on year-long academic and professional exchanges, were founded in part by Senator Lugar.
