VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS OF THE CHILEAN SENATE (Senate - June
22, 1995)
Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I wanted to take a moment, if I could, to say
that we just had a very wonderful opportunity in the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee room to have a very healthy and productive discussion with a
group of our colleagues, Senators from Chile, who are here in the United
States, to meet with their counterparts in the Senate and some Members
of the House and the administration on a variety of subject matters, not
the least of which--and it will not come as a great surprise--is NAFTA.
I know many colleagues share the view that Chile would be a welcome
partner in the NAFTA agreements. That is a matter we will address in the
future.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to my distinguished
colleagues four Members of the Chilean Senate. With us today are Senator
Arturo Allessandri, Senator Sebastian Pinera, Senator Hernan Larrain, and
Senator Jaime Gazmuri.
We are pleased to welcome four of our colleagues from Chile to the U.S.
Senate. We are delighted you are here on an important visit to our country.
[Applause]
