   VISIT TO THE SENATE BY HIS EXCELLENCY JASSUM MOH'D AL-OWN, KUWAIT 
                           MINISTER OF ENERGY

  Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, I have the high honor of introducing to 
my colleagues here in the United States Senate the distinguished 
minister of energy from the country of Kuwait, His Excellency Jassum 
Moh'd Al-Own, who happens also to be a Member of the Parliament of 
Kuwait.
  This is a very important time between our two countries. We have 
sealed the friendship between our two countries in battle, and that 
friendship persists, and will persist as long as there is a Kuwait and 
as long as there is a United States, which will be for many centuries, 
we all hope.
  So, Mr. President, with a great deal of pleasure, I introduce to my 
colleagues the distinguished Minister of energy from Kuwait. 
[Applause.]
  Mr. COVERDELL addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Georgia.
