        VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS OF THE RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President and Members of the Senate, we are honored 
to have with us today several members of the Duma and the Federated 
Council of the Russian Parliament. They are being hosted by the 
distinguished chairman and ranking member of the Senate Armed Services 
Committee, Senator Nunn and Senator Thurmond.
  I say to our colleagues from the Russian Parliament, in behalf of all 
Members of the United States Senate, we welcome you here today. We know 
that you have been having good and productive discussions with our 
colleagues in the Senate. We are pleased at the positive and 
encouraging results of the meeting this week between President Clinton 
and President Yeltsin, a summit which was marked by a common purpose 
and a desire for economic growth and prosperity and friendship in both 
countries. And so it is an appropriate time for your visit. We welcome 
you. We look forward to many more such visits in the future.

                          ____________________
