Indeed, our agenda came out of our discussions over the past year. It was proposed that we focus on three general areas, areas that I believe should be important elements of our post-Cold War security agenda, which we win discuss in our three plenary sessions. The first area is transparency and confidence-building measures. Our nations' leaders made this a priority at our summit in Miami. We are also pursuing other ways to reassure one another, such as sending our soldiers to one another's military schools or on training exercises together.
Transparency is an unusual concept when it comes to defense.
The art of war involves secrecy and surprise. But the art of peace involves exactly the opposite. Well, truth between nations doesn't always lead to love, but it does lead to trust, and trust leads to peace. The second way I want to demonstrate our commitment to openness is more symbolic. We are going to distribute a copy of my annual report to Congress.
