Prague 21 Nov. 2002

Remarks on enlargement by US President George W. Bush at the North Atlantic Council Summit Meeting America is very pleased by today's decision. We believe it strengthens our nation's most important alliance, NATO. By welcoming seven members, we will not only add to our military capabilities, we will refresh the spirit of this great democratic alliance. We believe today's decision reaffirms our commitment to freedom and our commitment to a Europe which is whole and free and at peace. Thank you.
