We have also strongly encouraged concrete action by North Korea to achieve progress in addressing all these concerns of the international community, both on the missile export program and on its indigenous missile programs. So those are going to be subjects that we will discuss with the Russians as well. ...

MR. RUBIN: Yes, I think it's pretty straightforward and I wouldn't look for too many DHMs, as we used to say in graduate school -- "deep, hidden meanings." Bosnia is a multi-ethnic society. There are roughly a third, a third and a third of ethnic groups, Croats, Moslems and Serbs. Albania -- Kosovo, not Albania, but Kosovo has something like 95 percent Albanians. That is different than Bosnia. People often miss the distinction there. ... Q: Did the Sudanese indicate that they would upgrade or return to their diplomatic missions here in the US? ... [Read More]
USIA, U.S. Foreign Policy Agenda, March 1999 - Catherine McArdle Kelleher, "NATO AT FIFTY: FUTURE CHALLENGES, HISTORIC TASKS"
A second related question is now the subject of expert discussion, civilian and military. How will the changing nature of military forces, U.S. and European, affect the nature of and the potential for common military action and planning? The changes are largely driven by economic and political factors: the substitution value of high tech assets for expensive manpower in the United States and the decline of conscription throughout Europe, to name just two critical examples. Numbers are unquestionably lower; there is little reason in a continuing post-Cold War era to expect broad public support for higher defense spending or greater investments in procurement for global missions. Humanitarian crises point in different directions: new and different training and equipment but perhaps longer, more randomly violent missions. All of this must be discussed in the context not only of the implementation of a new Alliance strategy but also of new methods of training and planning, of mobilizi ... [Read More]

With that as an announcement, let me add one statement, which is that yesterday marked the sixth anniversary of the kidnapping in Panama of three American citizens, Dave Mankins, Mark Rich, Rick Tenenoff, of the New Tribes missionaries. These men were kidnapped by the members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and taken to Colombia. The return of these men remains a high priority to the United States Government. We are committed to working with the families, the New Tribes missionaries and the Colombian Government to resolve the case. ... [Read More]

There isn't any conceivable reason why Iran needs a missile of intercontinental range if it's worried about regional security issues. It already has, in the Shahab-3, a missile that should allow it to deter or intimidate, if that's its goal, its neighbors. So it's a little puzzling why they would want missiles of longer range, but apparently they are working on those. But we consider that -- the longer-range missile programs, of course, to be farther down the road than this one. ... [Read More]

U.S. Initiatives At NATO's Istanbul Summit
In Bosnia, NATO can look back with a sense of accomplishment at the success of the mission it undertook in 1995 at Dayton. NATO brought peace and provided the security umbrella under which the Bosnian people, the UN, the EU and the OSCE could work to reconstruct the country and to address the underlying factors that led to conflict. At Istanbul, NATO will announce that its Stability Force (SFOR) has completed its mission and will terminate at the end of 2004. NATO forces went into Bosnia to stop a war, enforce a peace and separate two warring armies in the same state. That has been accomplished and the security situation has changed dramatically. ...
