I do think we need to keep in mind, regardless of our support for the Frank amendment, that the overriding consideration for us being in NATO is because it is in our national interest. And the overriding reason for us encouraging and participating and actually providing the leadership for expansion of NATO into the Czech Republic and Hungary and Poland, and thereafter, as the gentleman said, to other countries, including Slovenia, Romania, and the Baltic States, is because of our national interest. And that ought to be the overriding factor. We will push hard for burden sharing in every way.
