Hellenic Caucus History

In 1996, Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) and former Representative Michael Bilirakis (R-FL), who retired from Congress in 2006, founded the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues. In 2007, Representative Gus M. Bilirakis (R-FL) became a co-chair of the Caucus. The purpose of this bi-partisan caucus is to foster and improve relations between the United States and Greece.

Purpose

The Caucus serves to bring a renewed congressional focus on key diplomatic, military, and human rights issues in a critical part of the world. The members of the Caucus introduce legislation, arrange briefings on current events, and disseminate information to interested parties. The topics on which the Caucus focuses include U.S. aid to Greece and Cyprus, the conflict on Cyprus, U.S. relations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the status of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and developments in the Aegean.

Members

The Congressional Hellenic Caucus consists of over 80 members of Congress, and is chaired by U.S. Reps. Gus M. Bilirakis (R-FL) and Chris Pappas (D-NH) with Vice Chairs: U.S. Reps. Dina Titus (D-NV) and Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
