It looks as if Dennis Hastert has done the right thing:

Yushchenko to address Senate and House in joint meeting

Washington, DC ???????? Word has come in that the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, has been invited to address a combined meeting of the Senate and House during his visit to the U.S. in early April.

President Yushchenko is expected in Washington on April 3rd for a private session with U.S. President George Bush on Monday, April 4th.

Tentative plans have been discussed for a 3-day visit that will include meetings in Washington DC, Chicago, and Boston.

A rally at the Shevchenko monument in DC is being planned by a community committee for Wednesday, April 6, and a banquet in the Ukrainian President’s honor that evening.

I’ll post more details when they arrive.
