On the recordMarch 2, 1998
I call the attention of the Members in the Senate to this article because I think it makes some very good points about NATO expansion. I particularly want to quote this one provision. These writers said: The Senate would be wise to link NATO and European Union expansion. If that link is made, it is essential to stipulate that admission to the European Union is not sufficient qualification for entry into NATO. NATO should weigh any future applicant against the contributions and burdens its membership would entail. What is called for is a definite, if not permanent, pause in this process.
