Kay Bailey Hutchison: “I think it's been very productive, despite what you think, Mr. Chairman.”

NATO's door is open to all European democracies which share the values of our Alliance.

It is one of NATO's prime focuses, the aggression of Russia in Ukraine, of course, Georgia as well.

That is something that has to be, from the NATO standpoint, a consensus. Some of our allies are concerned that a withdrawal would make Russia more aggressive.

The enlargement process has and will continue to serve as a particularly effective vehicle for promoting democratic values.
