On the recordMarch 2, 1994
For 2 weeks in February, the people of Norway showed us a spirit of cooperation, gracious hospitality, environmental co-existence, and unmatched generosity through their Olympic Aid package to Sarajevo, and perhaps the highest measure of sportsmanship that has been experienced in recent memory. International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch said it himself, ``You have presented to the entire world the best Olympic Winter Games ever.'' And now, Mr. President, I want to pay tribute to 18 fine Minnesota athletes who participated in this Olympiad.
