education and training to eligible military personnel, law 
enforcement officials, and civilians of nations of the Western

of American States, while fostering mutual knowledge, trans-
parency, confidence, and cooperation among the participating 
nations and promoting democratic values and respect for human 
rights; and

training facility which the Department of Defense should con-

and interoperability among the United States military and 
the militaries of participating nations.

the Government of Iran should not use extremists in Iraq
