The Republican-controlled Senate passed its version of the measure - S. 2456 - on September 21. The House Subcommittee In observance of The Weekly's 50th on International Operations held hearings on the House version, H.R. 4459, on October 3. It is now up to the Democratic-controlled House to act on the measure. If it passes the House, it goes to the president for From our pages in 1982 signing. "Reopen the Kiev consulate," May 30,1982. Whatever the final outcome, one disturbing and puzzling aspect of the bill's history is the U.S. State Department's continuing opposition to When President Jimmy Carter closed the American consulate in Kiev as a the establishment of a special government commission to investigate symbolic protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, many Ukrainians the Great Famine in Ukraine (1932-33), which killed an estimated 7 threw up their hands at what they perceived as another misstep in a badly muddled million people.

Dudycz, a Chicago police detective and pre­ sident of the Ukrainian American Police Association, has recently an­ nounced his candidacy for the State Senate from Chicago's Northwest side, 7th District. This is his second try for political office. in his campaign for Chicago alderman last year, Mr. Dudycz barely missed defeating the incumbent by just four votes per precinct. Being impressed with his strong showing, the Illinois Repub­ lican Party urged Mr. Dudycz to the le­ gislative race. Strong initial support from the local community convinced him to enter this very close contest. "In the past, our community had to rely upon politicians of other nationali­ ties to speak on our behalf on matters important to us." said Mr. Dudycz. "The time has come for a new genera­ tion of Ukrainian Americans to get ac­ tively involved in the American politi­ cal process," he went on. "It is also our responsibility within the Ukrainian Walter W. Dudycz American community to individually and collectively support our own can­ ethnic groups have, and maintain a pre­ didates if we expect to grow as other sence within the American system."
