                    SPEECH OF PRIME MINISTER ALLAWI

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I share the view of the majority leader 
that we have just experienced a historic moment. Prime Minister Allawi 
spoke for all of us as he expressed the hope and vision for democracy 
in his country. His speech was eloquent, and I believe it was a 
stirring reminder of the importance that we all must place on the 
ongoing effort to ensure that the people of Iraq have an opportunity to 
experience democracy for the first time in their history.
  I ask unanimous consent that the speech be made a part of the Record.
  (The speech is printed in today's Record of the House Proceedings at 
page H7446.)
