On the recordJuly 23, 1996
the gentleman's comments gives us an opportunity to recognize that we are not barring membership for any country through this resolution, but we are providing an infrastructure and training assistance program, a modest one, by authorizing it as a part of this proposed act. I thank the gentleman for giving me a chance to remind our colleagues that we are not dictating NATO membership for any country, only facilitating assistance to these three countries that seem to have done an outstanding job in preparing for NATO membership. I thank the gentleman for yielding to me.
