This McNair Paper is based on an analysis originally prepared and published by the Congressional Research Service at the request of Senator William V. Roth, Jr., Jason Meyers, Heather Diehl, and Tabitha Swann provided research assistance for preparation of the report, and Barbara Hennix, Office of Senior Specialists, Congressional Research Service, provided production assistance.
The author appreciates the many constructive comments and ideas contributed by reviewers in the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division, the Office of Senior Specialists of CRS, and leaders in the Washington "think tank" and diplomatic community. The author also benefitted substantially from a series of continuing discussions with a small group of European Ambassadors to the United States and American experts on European security issues; reactions and comments provided by U.S. military officers participating in the NATO Staff Officers Orientation Course at the National Defense University; and discussions with military officers and civilian officials in classes at the NATO Defense College.
