Madam President. I take great pride now in asking unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess for 2 minutes so we may greet five Parliamentarians from the Republic of Slovenia. I take great pride in this. As the occupant of the Chair knows. my mother came from the small village of Suha in Slovenia. was an immigrant to this country. I know the grandfather of the Senator from Minnesota also came from Slovenia. So for those of us with Slovenian roots. this is a proud moment. In its 16 years of independence. Slovenia has established a stable multiparty democracy. a free press. an independent judiciary. and an excellent human rights record.
