Senator Chris Dodd: Archived Speech
VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS OF THE CHILEAN SENATE (Senate - June 22, 1995)
Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I wanted to take a moment, if I could, to say that we just had a very wonderful opportunity in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee room to have a very healthy and productive discussion with a group of our colleagues, Senators from Chile, who are here in the United States, to meet with their counterparts in the Senate and some Members of the House and the administration on a variety of subject matters, not the least of which--and it will not come as a great surprise--is NAFTA.

I know many colleagues share the view that Chile would be a welcome partner in the NAFTA agreements. That is a matter we will address in the future.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to my distinguished colleagues four Members of the Chilean Senate. With us today are Senator Arturo Allessandri, Senator Sebastian Pinera, Senator Hernan Larrain, and Senator Jaime Gazmuri.

We are pleased to welcome four of our colleagues from Chile to the U.S. Senate. We are delighted you are here on an important visit to our country.

[Applause]
