Jordan participates in
Washington IV programme
AMMAN (Petra) — A parliamentary delegation headed by Lower House Second Deputy
Speaker Thaher Fawaz arrived in Washington on Monday to participate in the
International Visitor (IV) Programme. Fawaz said the delegation aims to look
into the American parliamentary experience. Each year, the IV Programme brings
participants from all over the world to the US to meet and confer with their
professional counterparts on issues related to laws, Parliament and legislation.
Fawaz and the visiting delegation yesterday met with several Congress officials,
who briefed them on the way draft laws are submitted to the Congress and
referred to the concerned committees.
