MAYOR RUDOLPH W. GIULIANI ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT REGARDING THE AWARDING OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO
JOHN HUME AND DAVID TRIMBEL:
"On behalf of the people of New York City I want to congratulate John Hume and David Trimbel for being selected as the recipients of the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize.
Following their hard-work and steadfast determination the people of Northern Ireland earlier this year voted overwhelmingly for peace. John and David were instrumental in ending 25 years of conflict and as a result of their efforts the guns are silent and peace has once again returned to the region."
