THE PRESIDENT:Senator Saland.
SENATOR SALAND:Thank you, Madam President.
I rise for purposes of an introduction. I'm rather privileged to stand here today in the Senate chamber and to introduce to you a group of Nigerian legislators and staff. They've obviously traveled quite some distance to get here, six staff members and six legislators from -
THE PRESIDENT:Excuse us, Senator Saland. You may proceed.
SENATOR SALAND:Thank you, Madam President.
-- six staff members and six legislators from six of the Nigerian states.
They are here as part of an international program which is being conducted by the National Conference of State Legislatures, of which I currently serve as the president.
I've had the opportunity to meet with them; they have met with some members of our Senate staff. They have had the opportunity to meet with the Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Paterson.
And I would like to, at least within their ranks, recognize, as we like to do, the speaker from the Plateau State House of Assembly, Speaker Simon Lalong, as well as all of the other members of their delegation.
(Applause.)
SENATOR SALAND:They are accompanied by Patrick McCorry, of the International Programs component of NCSL.
And tomorrow our colleagues in the Assembly will also be going through a number of processes and issues with them as we in the Senate have today.
Thank you, Madam President.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Paterson.
SENATOR PATERSON:Madam President, I wanted to thank Senator Saland for extending to me the opportunity to meet with this great delegation from the different states of Nigeria.
This is a country that meant a lot to me when I was 9 years old. I wrote a report about Nigeria in the fourth grade when, at the time, the president's name was Abubakar Balewa.
And from that time, this country's great contribution to the economic development and cultural history of the African continent is certainly regaled and was best represented by their presence here today.
And again, along with Senator Saland, we welcome them and hope they enjoy their visit until they leave on Thursday.
And who knows, maybe in the upcoming World Cup tournament we'll be rooting for the Super Eagles.
Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT:Thank you, Senators.
On behalf of the Senate, and as its president, I want to extend to you a very warm welcome. We're very honored to have you here. May you have an enjoyable, productive and educational -- in a positive way -- trip here.
