“I recently returned from Greece. And I met with the Prime Minister from Greece, and I also met with the Defense Minister. They bought German tanks. They have an alliance with Germany. It goes beyond what I think the gentleman is talking about, because, for us to sell U.S. product, for us to sell F-15s and the Strike Eagles to Greece and even F-18s, we had to throw into the package not only kits, but Corvettes as well, or they are going to buy other product. So when you are talking about taxpayers, we are going to have people in St. Louis working because we are going to sell extra aircraft. Those aircraft that we can buy cheaper, the U.S. military is going to benefit from that. I am not sure about the process with the gentleman's committee, but I am just letting him know that the reasons for it is, if we can have cheaper airplanes for our services and provide, I am a little different on the issue, I want the Turks out of Northern Cyprus. They invaded in 1974, and they ought to get their rear ends out, and the Greeks ought to kick them out if they do not move.”
