President George W. Bush meets with members of the U.S. Delegation to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Anti-Semitism Conference in the Oval Office Tuesday, May 18, 2004.

The members of the US delegation to the OSCE Conference on Anti-Semitism in Berlin were honored to meet President George W. Bush and thank him for his staunch commitment to fighting anti-Semitism. The very fact that this Conference took place was due to the initiative and persistence of the President and Secretary Colin Powell and their insistence that Europe address and take action against the alarming rise in anti-Semitism in those countries. Noting that the United States has a duty to expose and confront anti-Semitism wherever it is found, President Bush reaffirmed his commitment "to continue to call upon our friends in Europe to renounce and fight any anti-Semitism in their midst."
