Remarks Prior to Discussions With Prime Minister Janez 
Drnovsek of Slovenia in Kranj, Slovenia
June 16, 2001

    The President. [Inaudible]--the Prime Minister came to Austin to 
visit me when I was the Governor of Texas, along with then-Ambassador, 
now the Foreign Minister. We had a wonderful 
visit then, and I'm looking forward to a great exchange now. We had a 
good visit in the car coming here. And I'm so grateful for his 
hospitality to this most spectacular and beautiful country. It's really 
beautiful.

Note: The President spoke at 1 p.m. at Brdo Castle. In his remarks, he 
referred to Minister of Foreign Affairs Dimitrij Rupel of Slovenia. A 
tape was not available for verification of the content of these remarks.
