SOT Duma speaker Selezynov in Russian in reply to journalist asking what Chernomyrdin's chances would be of being confirmed by the Duma on Monday: "I don't think he has any chance at all, in my opinion. Because of course the deputies are concerned about yesterday's rejection and renomination (by Yeltsin), but everyone stands by what they said yesterday about Chernomyrdin and no one sees why they should discuss it all again."

SOT Zyuganov in Russian: "My opinion is that it's a disgusting decision (to re-submit candidacy of Chernomyrdin) on the eve of Clinton's trip and is aimed at worsening an already extremely dramatic situation. It seems to me that President Yeltsin is pushing the country to the brink of civil war and into a harsh confrontation."
CA press;
SOT Zyuganov in Russian: "It's a good time for Clinton to come. He'll be able to see what he and Yeltsin have achieved. That the G7 has been unconditionally supporting a drunken degenerate who mocks the country, common sense and all of us";
