<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">This year's Workshop was the
ninth supported by the Defense Nuclear Agency, and I have had the pleasure
of participating in the last three--because I believe that the Workshop
continues to be of great value. A central part of my Agency's operational
mission is to provide technical support assessments and advice to the
Commanders-in-Chief. This Workshop provides a unique opportunity for my
Agency to gauge and understand the environment and the evolving
requirements of the operational commanders. When the Workshop was held in
Budapest two years ago, there was a feeling of anticipation that NATO
might allow additional countries to become members. Since then, the
Partnership for Peace framework has been widely accepted and continues to
elicit the same enthusiasm that we all sensed at Budapest.</FONT></FONT>

<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">The next chapter presents the
views on Partnership for Peace of Dr. Ferenc Somogyi, the State Secretary
of Hungary--host country of the Budapest NATO Workshop. State Secretary
Somogyi was educated at the University of Economics in Budapest. In the
1980s he served as Deputy Permanent Representative to the U.N. and then as
the head of the U.N. Department in the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. He is now serving in his second term as State Secretary of
Hungary. During his previous term as State Secretary, Dr. Somogyi was a
witness and participant in events of profound historic significance: he
was a member of the small group of Hungarian political leaders who chose
to allow East German tourists to cross the Hungarian border into Western
Europe. Thus began a chain of extraordinary events that ultimately led to
the collapse of the Berlin Wall.</FONT></FONT> </P>

<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">In the subsequent chapter,
Professor Juraj Schenk, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak
Republic, presents a Slovakian perspective on Partnership for Peace.
Professor Schenk has served as the Chairman of the Slovak Sociological
Society and as the Head of the Department of Sociology at the University
in Bratislava. His broad scientific background includes service as Vice
Dean for Scientific Research of the Faculty of Philosophy. In addition, he
represents the Slovak Sociological Association within the International
Sociological Association. Consequently, Professor Schenk brings to his
analysis unusually broad understanding based on his years of research and
international academic leadership.</FONT></FONT> </P>
