In view of the tremendous progress toward establishing democratic political institutions and market economies made by the Baltic States and their keen interests in NATO memberships, I want to clarify my understanding that this bill in no way compromises their opportunity for future NATO membership.

These states have taken the necessary steps toward democratic reforms and I support the recognition of their efforts and continued U.S. assistance.
