                           U.S.-AFRICA SUMMIT

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