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. It is my understanding that today's bill includes language recognizing the transformation toward economic, political, and military reform in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These states have taken the necessary steps toward democratic reforms and I support the recognition of their efforts and continued U.S. assistance.
