Each democracy must decide for itself what is required to protect its national security interest. That decision is made through careful deliberation and debate by the countries' leaders in conjunction with its parliamentarians, congressmen, and countrymen. We specifically do not intend to fuel any arms race. There is great effort undertaken, there has been great effort undertaken by Chile to be open, to be transparent, to have an arrangement now in terms of its accounting process, so that it can send the appropriate signals to Argentina and to other countries in the region, that everything is open, so that they can understand exactly what Chile is spending, what is required, so that there is no arms race. But each country, Argentina, Brazil, other countries, they're all looking at ways in which they can modernize their forces to make sure that they can protect their sovereign interest.
Chile is no different.
Because of this strong relationship we have with Chile, we would like to be able to compete on a fair and open basis with any other country as we seek to supply their modernization needs. Mr. Secretary of Defense, I would like to know if the U.S. Congress is trying to make the CIA release documents about its alleged participation in the 1973 military coup. I would like to know how would that affect the relations between countries. Well, as you have indicated, the United States is in the process of releasing information dating back to 1969, I believe, all the way through '91. Two out of the three tranches of information have been released.
