LETTER DATED JULY 8, 1982 TO SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN DON BONKER FROM HON. EDWARD DERWINSKI, REGARDING S. CON. RES. 18
Thank you for agreeing to deal with the Ukrainian churches
resolution in your subcommittee. Inasmuch as S. Con. Res. 18,
which was passed in the Senate on June 19, 1981, is so similar
to my own resolution, H. Con. Res. 123, I accept your suggestion
that the subcommittee consider the Senate version.
The important thing is to move on the issue and working
with the Senate version would be more practical.
If we can get
the resolution through the Full Committee, which I believe is
likely, and then passed on the Floor, it can go directly to the
President for signature without a conference with the Senate.
I look forward to cooperating with you on this long-awaited
Edward J. Derwinski
Member of Congress
