                           U.S.-AFRICA SUMMIT

  Mr. COONS. Mr. President, before I conclude I simply wanted to thank 
the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations

[[Page S5335]]

Committee and our chair, Senator Bob Menendez, for hosting--along with 
the House Foreign Affairs Committee--yesterday a very successful 
reception in the Russell Office Building where 50 African heads of 
state and heads of government were received. It was a successful event 
and an important kickoff to a 3-day U.S.A.-Africa summit currently 
being led by the President and Secretary of Commerce.
