Hi Julek,
Fascinitating piece of information.
Do you know what, if anything, is being done with the report now it has been
handed over to Poland? What happens/is happening now?
Is there to be any hearing/enquiry where the Russians can be brought to
account? The report was finished in 1952 and nothing further appears to have
happened until last year. Is it possible for members in the U.S. to lobby
Congressman Kanjorski to provide a report?
Regards, Ken Fedzin. England.

On a different subject,
I am not sure if we have received the following in the past so I would like
to share it with all.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 4, 2003
Kanjorski Presents Polish Ambassador with Record of Katyn Massacre
Investigation
Massacre First Disclosed 60 Years Ago; Record Unavailable in Poland until
Now
Washington, DC - Congressman Paul E. Kanjorski (PA-11) today presented
Poland's Ambassador to the United States with a copy of the 2,300-page
published record of a select Congressional committee's investigation of the
Katyn Forest massacre during World War II. The massacre of thousands of
leading Polish citizens by Soviet troops was first disclosed in April 1943,
but the Soviet government denied responsibility until after the Cold War
ended.
The select Congressional committee, which included then-Congressman Daniel
J. Flood of Wilkes-Barre, investigated the massacre in 1951 and 1952, but
until now the record of its investigation has been not available anywhere in
Poland.
