British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will visit the Capitol Wednesday, March 4, to address a joint session of Congress.
Brown, who last visited the Capitol two years ago, has never addressed a joint session.
He is expected to address ways the two countries can work together to combat terrorism, effect climate change and improve the world economy.
Brown will be the fourth British prime minister to address Congress, following Winston Churchill, Clement Atlee, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair.

This is refreshing. Gordon Brown... as sterile a politician as he is (theatrically), is a pragmatic leader.
I believe this address is a healthy result of our continued special relationship. And I wish him well.
