U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao arrived in Uruguay yesterday heading a presidential delegation that will represent President George W. Bush at the Uruguayan Presidential Inauguration today. The U.S. delegation includes Ambassador to Uruguay Martin J. Silverstein and Ms. Marilyn Ware of Pennsylvania who will join Secretary Chao for the official inaugural events.

Before attending the ceremonies, Secretary Chao visited a Uruguayan non-governmental organization, "Centro de Promoción por la Dignidad Humana," or Center for the Promotion of Human Dignity (CeProDiH), a shelter that works with homeless children, the elderly, and abused women, in an effort to help those who are disadvantaged return to a productive life in Uruguayan society.
