Before my favourite chairman gives me the hook, the analysts have asked me to ask this question. Since we have the best analysts of any committee anywhere, anytime, I'm just going to put the question to you to get your response.
As the only regional organization that includes Russia, European states, central Asia, Canada, and the United States, what role does the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe play in the maintenance of security and the strengthening of democracy in eastern Europe and central Asia? Can it or should it be strengthened in any way?
