He reaffirmed the United States 4)commitment to working with Indonesia to address its many challenges."
Ms. Megawati is the daughter of Indonesia's founding president and previously4 served as Mr. Wahid's vice5 president. She was chosen by the legislature to replace Mr. Wahid after he was 5)impeached on charges of 6)corruption6 and 7)incompetence.
After fighting those charges for months, Mr. Wahid agreed to give-up power after security forces refused to throw out the legislature. He is now scheduled to undergo treatment for 8)fluctuating blood pressure at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in the United States.
President Megawati takes charge at a time of economic crisis and 9)regional violence in Indonesia. There has been a series of bombings in the capital.
