    WELCOME TO DR. ABDALLA A. NSSOUR, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF THE 
                      HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN

<bullet> Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to extend welcoming 
remarks to Dr. Abdalla A. Nssour, Deputy Prime Minister of the 
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Dr. Nssour will be the honored guest at a 
dinner on May 2, 1996 in Livonia, MI. In addition, I would also like to 
welcome to Michigan His Excellency Fayez Tarawneh, Ambassador to the 
United States from Jordan, and Head of the Jordanian Delegation to the 
Middle East Peace Process. The American Arab Chamber of Commerce, 
Michigan, the Jordanian American Association of Michigan, and Royal 
Jordanian Airlines will be sponsoring the dinner honoring Dr. Nssour.
  In addition to serving as Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister, Dr. Nssour 
also serves as the Minister of Higher Education and the Chair of the 
Foreign Relations Committee in the Jordanian Parliament. Prior to his 
esteemed government service, Dr. Nssour had many great accomplishments 
in the scientific community. I am certain that the dinner audience will 
be greatly enriched by Dr. Nssour's remarks.
  It is most fitting that the Arab American community has chosen to 
honor Dr. Nssour for his service to his country and I am pleased to 
join the community in welcoming Dr. Nssour to Michigan. <bullet>
