JUPPE-CHERNOMYRDIN COMMISSION TO BE CREATED.

At a meeting in Paris, Boris Yeltsin and French president Jacques Chirac decided to establish a joint commission headed by Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and his French counterpart Alain Juppe, a presidential spokesman reported yesterday. The body will be modeled on the U.S.-Russian Gore-Chernomyrdin commission and work to strengthen economic links between the two countries. Yeltsin also met with German chancellor Helmut Kohl in Paris, where the two leaders agreed that Kohl would visit Moscow in late April, following the G-7 summit. (4)
