On the recordNovember 13, 1997
Mongolia is a shining beacon of hope for those people who are still living under repressive governments around the world. Mongolia is isolated, its population is small, its resources are limited but it has enthusiastically embraced political and economic reforms that would challenge any highly industrialized nation. Its government is also aggressively trying to preserve its environment and strengthen its parliamentary and judicial system. We need to do all we can to ensure that Mongolia is successful and I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
