This is another signal of the United States continued support for Georgia, its rejection of the continued Russian occupation and its faith in Georgia's democratic and Euro-Atlantic Future! We would like to particularly thank the 31 House Representatives who co-sponsored this bill. A true bi-partisan effort.
