Gus Dur takes time-out for sleep

JAKARTA (JP): The days and nights of the People's Consultative
Assembly's (MPR) General Session have absorbed the energy of
legislators, including noted Muslim leader and presidential
candidate Abdurrahman Wahid.

But despite his fatigue, he agreed to accompany a delegation
of Maluku expatriates to meet with President B.J. Habibie and
Indonesian Military chief/Minister of Defense and Security Gen.
Wiranto on Tuesday.

The expatriates, who have lived for a long time in the
Netherlands, visited the country to express their concern about
rampaging violence on their home soil.

"I escorted them to meet Wiranto but I do not know what they
talked about as I fell asleep during the meeting," Abdurrahman
told reporters lightly.

"I was tired." (emf)
