Mr. Speaker. I rise today to bring to the attention of the House several articles from this past weekends newspapers regarding the present political crisis in Albania. where thousands of asylum seekers are still holed up in foreign embassies in that nations capital of Tirana. In the Saturday. July 7 issue of the New York Times. the Times picked up a story from the Reuters news service titled. "Albanians Reportedly Stream Into Embassies in the Capital." The article begins. and I quote. "About 3.000 Albanians crowded Into Western embassies in the Albanian capital today. and the Austrian news agency reported that 10.000 Jammed the streets. some of them fleeing police beatings in Europes last Stalinist state." On Sunday the New York Times carried another story on this worsening crisis.
