I am proud to mention that my colleague from New York has emphasized this point, the importance of buying American equipment, because it is interoperable in NATO forces and because it is important to our economy. So taking nothing away from Romania's case, because military-to-military cooperation with Romania and the United States could not be better, and certainly no country has pressed harder for first-round membership than Romania, I did want to make sure that by our action today we say nothing negative about Slovenia's case, and I thank the gentleman for his initiative.
