I remain firmly committed to the FDA rule, which will help stop young people from smoking before they start by eliminating advertising aimed at children and curbing minors' access to tobacco products.

I don't think it's a geographical issue. I think that what we tried to do was to say that there are some things which can occur in Europe, in nonmember nations, that can affect the security and stability of all of Europe, including NATO…

Our military leaders at NATO believe, based on what they have seen and what others in the area have told them, that the Serb television is an essential instrument of Mr. Milosevic's command and control. He uses it to spew hatred and to…

The short answer is, no. Let me remind you, we are in Macedonia and Albania to try to help them, two very brave countries with very strong-willed leaders, operating under extreme duress. We're trying to help them manage a massive refugee…

Standing against ethnic cleansing is both a moral imperative and a practical necessity.

We will continue to work with Bosnia and Croatia on implementation of the Dayton accords, looking toward eventual partnership.

We must continue to strengthen the Partnership for Peace and deepen the role that our partner countries play in the planning and execution of the missions we undertake together.

When all is said and done, I think people will look back on this summit, perhaps many years from now, and say that was its lasting value: We looked to the future with a clear vision and made a commitment to build it.

A just end to the conflict is essential to putting the entire region on the path to stability.

We must be committed to building that kind of future for the people of central Europe, for the people of southeastern Europe, and for our other partners.

All of them are on the right road, and we must travel it with them to ensure that they succeed.

We must see reducing conflict and tensions and increasing prosperity and integration as two sides of the same coin.

We must do more, intensifying our relief operations, taking our share of refugees.

We came to this summit committed to chart a course for the NATO Alliance for the 21st century.

The idea that all of us could be sitting here together around one table would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

We must continue the enlargement of NATO, the Partnership for Peace, and the Partnership Council.

We applaud the determination of both EU members and other European Allies to take the necessary steps to strengthen their defence capabilities.

It takes time to reverse that.

And we remember that the cause of freedom and peace is stronger when it is embraced by a group of nations as great and diverse as those who are joined together in this Council.

We have to create a positive future for this part of Europe if we want to avoid being in the very position we're in today again in a few years.

Our commitment to enlargement is part of a broader strategy of projecting stability and working together with our Partners to build a Europe whole and free.

In a world full of both promise and peril, where for good or ill our destinies are more and more linked, we have chosen to be allies, partners, and friends.

Instead, every one of us must take responsibility to counter the culture of violence.

Our position on that, I think, is the correct one.

But we are all here tonight because we are thinking—we are thinking of a future brighter than the past; a future of shared values and shared visions.
