    Remarks at the North Atlantic Council Summit in Prague
    November 21, 2002

        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.

    Note: The President spoke at 10:03 a.m. at the Prague Congress Center.
