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.
