SENATOR WEAVER

2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 17th Legislative Day March 4, 1993 Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, I would like to announce that after the introduction of bills, which will be read in this morning, that the Senate stand in recess for a few minutes so that Rules Committee may assign those bills. Many of them are appropriation billsr which could be posted and heard next week.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Weaver, we'll stand at ease for a few minutes for the purpose of the Rules Committee. Secondly, the -- the Chair would like to remind the Members that the last day for introduction of Senate bills is March 10th. We have a special guest here, and I'd like to recognize Senator Geo-Karis for the purpose of an introduction. SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, if I may have your attention. We have a very special guest here. He 's a gentleman who was first elected after the revolution in Romania. His name is Petru Filip - P-E-T-R-U - Filip - F-I-L-I-P - and he is the Mayor of Oradea - O-R-A-D-E-A, Romania. Romania is a country of twenty-three million people, strategically placed at the border between Central and Eastern Europe, very rich in resources - has oil, minerals and a good industry and rich agricultural land. Although it was devastated by the foolish projects of the late dictator Ceausescu, Romania has no foreign debts, and it can becone a very prosperous country. It has just signed an association treaty with the Common Market. Although its present government is rather to the left, the commitment to private economy and democracy is there, and it will not turn back. Oradea is a city of two hundred and thtrty thousand people, located northwest of Romania, near the border of Hungary. Seventy percent of its population is Romanian; thirty percent is Hungarian and other ...tinaudiblel... Agriculture used to be the strongest part of the city's economy, but now it has a large aluminum STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 17th Legislative Day March 4, 1993 factory, chemistry planes and other modern industries. Some of them are already in partnership with Western European companies. The Mayor of Oradea is a young engineer, age forty-two. His name, as I said, is Petru Filip. He is a nember of the Front of National Salvation, who split with President Iliescu a year ago. The Front of National Salvation Party considers themselves a center party and they seek alliance with the Liberal Party. The Mayor is concerned with the development of the infrastructure of his city. He's also interested to attract investments into Oradea companies and partnership for these companies. The Mayor is open to cooperation with different religious groups in the City of Oradea, and supports the building of new churches and Christian schools and institutions and missions. Mayor Petru Filip was brought here by Daniel Coltea - C-O-L-T-E-A , who ls the head of Electrocom GARD Ltd, and by Reverend Nornan Schneller and also by Reverend Garrison fron Zion. And at this time, I might tell you that we -- my seatnate happens to be of Romanian extraction, Senator Lauzen, who was able to speak the language with him . And at this time, I'd like you to -- like Eo introduce Mayor Petru Filip, the Mayor of Oradea: Ronania, and let's welcome him here.
