EMBASSY HOSTS RECEPTION FOR OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATIVE STAFF ASSOCIATION


Seeking to enhance its ties and engagement with the U.S. Congress, Philippine Ambassador to
the United States Willy C. Gaa hosted around 30 officers and members of the U.S. Congressional
Legislative Staff Association (CLSA) at the Philippine Embassy on 31 July 2008.

Representing 535 congressional offices from every state in the Union, CLSA serves as a conduit
for panel discussions, briefings, and embassy events with ambassadors and diplomats from
nations of vital interest to U.S. foreign policy.
