[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 6] [Senate] [Page 8461] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]COMMENDING THE EFFORTS OF THE REVEREND JESSE JACKSON Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to join all Americans in expressing my profound relief at the safe return of Sergeant Andrew Ramirez, Sergeant Christopher Stone, and Specialist Steven Gonzales from captivity in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. I was necessarily absent from the Senate this morning in order to attend a technology conference in my home State of North Dakota. Had I been present, I would have gladly joined 92 of my colleagues in commending the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and the delegation of religious and political leaders he led, for their instrumental efforts in securing the release of these three Americans. A grateful nation owes them its gratitude. ____________________
