Hungarian officials have pledged to hold this year's deficit to $550 million, instead of the more than $1 billion that had been planned.

Approximately 350,000 Hungarian officials and intellectuals were purged from 1948 to 1956.

Hungarian officials fear the war's effects on tourism, which accounts for 9 percent of the economy.

What has been surprising is the readiness among Hungarian officials to cooperate.

But, they said, Hungarian officials soon reneged, proposing instead to study the case further.

The Hungarian official spoke with considerable candor of the need for change.

Hungarian officials told the commission that they had never received any such paintings.

Notwithstanding these events, Hungarian officials were unable to crush the movement.

But this was the alliance's choice, argues a senior Hungarian official.

Hungarian officials hope much of this money will be used to ease the nation's debt.
