But Captive Nations Week is actually almost 50 years old: "The Congress, by Joint Resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third week in July of each year as 'Captive Nations Week.'" Still ironic, what with this president. At first, I thought Bush had created Captive Nations Week — how ironic, right? But Captive Nations Week is actually almost 50 years old:
