And I would like to use this opportunity to say the words of appreciation to the U.S. side for the words of condolence, condolences in connection with the death through a terrorist attack in Moscow. These discussions here in Auckland are viewed and are conceived as the preparation for the forthcoming meeting between Prime Minister Putin and President Clinton. I would like to stress here once again that we in Moscow are strongly abiding by the political line of furtherance of constructive dialogue and cooperation with the United States. This is a policy which is not based on deviations due to political conjuncture. The leadership of Russia will continue to follow this political line.
Corruption is a transnational phenomenon.
That is why we support cooperation between the special services, who must draw the necessary and appropriate conclusions and make the necessary decisions. As Secretary Albright just mentioned, next week a high-level delegation will come to Washington from Moscow consisting of representatives of the Procurator's Office of the Interior Ministry, tax police, and others. And we believe that such an interaction should be conducive to our expanded cooperation in certain areas, because such challenges require joint action and response. And we are prepared for the most, closest cooperation. Could you elaborate on the state of affairs here, and could you comment on the possibility of this issue affecting the bilateral relations between the two countries.
