Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of this timely resolution extending mostfavorednation trading status to the Mongolian Peoples Republic. As Chairman of the National Republican Institute for International Affairs. I had the rare and very memorable experience of visiting Mongolia. As one of the few Americans. and I believe the only Member of Congress who has spent time in Mongolia since its change from a hardcore Communist nation. I can personally attest that the economic and political changes in this formerly hermit Communist state are remarkable. The Mongolian people are very friendly toward Americans. They want our help. our advice. and our friendship. On the political front. Mongolia has held open elections which resulted In a multiparty assembly. While Mongolia has never had a modern. democratic experience until just this year and. therefore. has much learning to do. I am very encouraged by the enthusiasm all Mongoliansincluding former Communisthave for democracy. Just as in Eastern Europe. the democratic revolution Is alive. well. and growing in Mongolia. On the economic front.
