    Statement on the Election of Fernando de la Rua as President of Argentina
    October 25, 1999

        On behalf of the people of the United States, I congratulate
    Fernando de la Rua on his victory in Argentina's Presidential election.
    The Argentine elections were a model of civic participation and a
    testament to the strength and vibrancy of Argentina's democracy.
        I look forward to working with President-elect de la Rua and to
    deepening the partnership between our two nations.
