Liberian President Receives Positive Hearing in Washington

During a visit to Washington in late June, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf outlined for members of Congress Liberia's past-war progress and stressed the country's need for ongoing support. Her message was well received by both Republicans and Democrats, despite tight U.S. budget restrictions which include large cuts in foreign assistance.

Before returning home, President Sirleaf traveled to South Carolina to witness the investiture of a Liberian Bishop as leader of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first African to hold that position.
