                  GREEK SUPPORT FOR THE WAR ON TERROR

 Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask to have printed in the Record 
the remarks of President George W. Bush in regard to the stance that 
Greece has taken in our war against terror.
  The remarks follow.

       President Bush:
       There's a huge number of Greek Americans who live in our 
     country, who still have got great fondness for the country of 
     their ancestors.
       I am most appreciative of Greece's strong stand against 
     terror. Greece has been a friend in our mutual concerns about 
     routing our terror around the world, and I want to thank them 
     for that very much.
       I'm also very appreciative of Greek Prime Minister Simitis' 
     administration working with Turkey. Relations have improved 
     with Turkey, and as a result the world is better off. And I 
     want to thank Greece for their vision, for their Foreign 
     Ministry's hard work to do what is right for the world, to 
     make the world more peaceful.
