Object Details

Australian Prime Minister John Howard addressed a Joint Session of Congress on June 12, 2002. His previously scheduled address was postponed by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. While the address was mostly upbeat, Howard criticized the recently passed farm bill, which he felt would harm Australian agriculture due to its increased subsidies for American growers.
