          VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS OF THE CHILEAN SENATE

  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]
