Belgium: A Truly Neat Place
While living in Belgium, I have been able to experience life differently than most Americans my age.

International Conference on Iraq, June 21-22, 2005, Brussels, Belgium
AMBASSADOR JONES: We expect there will be some kind of a statement. We have to engage -- that's one of the jobs of the senior officials on the 21st, is to engage to see whether -- you mentioned several possibilities, a communiqué, a statement, a joint statement, a statement with broad consensus. We'll have to engage with the other countries and see how strong the consensus is, how interested people are in having a detailed statement. But I think we'll have some kind of statement.
