                     KEEP FAITH WITH OUR PRESIDENT

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, in this week's Newsweek, there is an 
article called ``The Hidden Success Story.'' It is about America's 
efforts to assist in diversifying the Mexican economy and make good 
economic friends of our neighbors to the south. And the article 
concludes with these words:

       Keep faith with those who are struggling to do the right 
     thing. Bill Clinton may have received little credit for it in 
     the United States, but his rescue of the peso places him, and 
     not Washington conventional wisdom, on the right side of 
     history. For a century American Presidents have blustered 
     about being good neighbors to the rest of the Americas. 
     Clinton, first in Haiti and now in Mexico, has shown more 
     leadership and less arrogance in the struggle for hemispheric 
     progress than any previous representative of the Colossus of 
     the North. When in about 20 years that too becomes 
     conventional wisdom, remember, you read it here first.
