Second, the negotiations with the Russian Federation continue. They are led by Secretary General Solana and member states of NATO participate. The United States has a very active dialogue, and I do anticipate some upcoming meetings between the United States and the Russian Federation on the NATO-Russia charter issue. We were very pleased to see yesterday that President Yeltsin seemed hopeful about the conclusion of those talks. We are not there yet.
More work needs to be done.
Oh, I can't be specific about upcoming meetings. Just, you know, normal consultations. And when we have something to announce, we'll announce it, if it's special. But we are in touch with the Russian Federation continually. Secretary Albright takes a great interest in this, Deputy Secretary Talbott leads the interagency group that is working with NATO and with the other countries and with the Russian Federation on this.
