VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO
(The following proceedings . occurred during the preceding remarks by Mr. MUSKIE and are printed at this point in the RECORD by unanimous consent:)
Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. President, we have present in the Chamber visitors from Mexico who are members of the Mexican Parliament. They are the speaker, the Honorable Augusto Gomez Villanueva, Senador Horacio Labastida Munoz, Senador Gilberto Ruiz Aimada, Diputado Guillermo Cosio Vidaurri, Diputado Victor Manzanilla Schaeffer, Diputado Juan Jose Osorio Palacios, Diputado Jorge Mendicutti, Diputado Jorge Garabito Martinez, and Diputado Pedro Gonzalez.
This is the 17th meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union with the Government of Mexico. We think that this means a new era and return of good neighbor relations, and we are delighted to have them share these moments with us.
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, I join my good friend from Texas in welcoming our good friends from Mexico. In my first year in the Senate I was privileged to attend this interparliamentary conference at Guanajuato. I enjoyed it very much, and hope some day to rejoin the parliamentary exercises with these and others of my good friends from south of the border.
[Applause, Senators rising.]
Mr. CRANSTON. Mr. President, I, too, wish to welcome our distinguished guests from Mexico. We are all delighted that you are present.
Mr. GOLDWATER. Mr. President, speaking from my side of the aisle, I just wish to bid our distinguished visitors welcome to the United States of America, and to wish them good luck.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. BURDICK). The Senate will be in recess for 3 minutes.
At 1:32 p.m., the Senate took a recess until 1:35 p.m., whereupon the Senate reassembled when called to order by the Presiding Officer (Mr. BURDICK) .
(This concludes the proceedings that occurred earlier.)
