Dear Baltic friends and friends of the Baltics!
The Winter edition of our quarterly newsletter, the JBANC Chronicle, is now available for download on our website at:

The latest Chronicle includes the following articles: *An update on the Freedom Consolidation Act (S. 1572), a bill endorsing vision of future NATO enlargement. A hold was placed on the legislation just prior to the Holiday recess, meaning that it will be considered by the Senate once it reconvenes in January.
Information on contacting the Senate:

*The recent Baltic-NATO conference in Seattle, Washington *A report on the recent Truman-Reagan Freedom Awards Dinner *The legacy of former Congressman Gerald Solomon, who passed away this fall.
Please let us know if you would like to receive a copy of the Chronicle by regular mail.
We would be happy to add you to our mailing list.
Best wishes for a very successful 2002 from JBANC! (JBANC, the Joint Baltic American National Council, represents the interests of Estonmian, Latvian and Lithuanian Americans in the USA)
