                       SUPPORTING SERBIAN PEOPLE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 6, 2000

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Serbian people. The 
Serbian people won a great victory yesterday in the streets of 
Belgrade. They vindicated their choice for democracy and freedom that 
they exercised in the presidential elections of September 24. I 
congratulate the democratically elected President Vojislav Kustinca and 
the brave people of Yugoslavia who refused to allow their victory to be 
stolen from them.
  It is now time for the West to welcome Yugoslavia into the family of 
free nations and to assist its new President to rebuild the country 
from the ravages of war.
