WORLD : Bob, Elizabeth Dole to Visit Poland
Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole said today there are “some tough days ahead” for Poland despite enthusiasm over the emergence of the nation’s first non-Communist government in almost half a century.
Dole spoke just before he and his wife, Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole, left on a 10-day trip to Poland and three other countries from Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland.
In Warsaw, the Doles will deliver letters from President Bush to Polish President Wojciech Jaruzelski and Solidarity leader Lech Walesa. They are also scheduled to visit earthquake-torn Soviet Armenia, where they will deliver relief and rehabilitation supplies furnished by Project Hope, a private charitable organization.
