We agree, the U.S. agrees, that there needs to be an open door policy, that no one can have a veto over membership, that it is important for those countries including the Baltics to understand that NATO membership is a responsibility and not a gift and that following the membership action plan it is essential to work out a way to be a really good and responsible NATO member. So our views have been very similar. I remember one of our original meetings, when we were still talking about this expansion of NATO that just took place, the Foreign Minister and I were in complete agreement and I found him a very strong and important ally. So I think we have the same approach. I have a two part question, the first one about Yugoslavia.
Second question is about the Middle East.
There are clashes still going on today in Jerusalem and parts of the occupied territories. Let me do the Middle East first. We are very concerned about the violence that is taking place. It clearly is counterproductive as far as moving on the peace process. I spoke yesterday with Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami as well as with Chairman Arafat and we spoke about the importance of restraint and the danger of a cycle of violence developing.
