Mr. Speaker, they are not being sent into harm's way. Those who were in the former republic of Macedonia are in fact there to help in an extraction force that would help to take our verifiers out of Kosovo if that is necessary. But they are there in an engineering capacity and in a medical capacity. They are not actually going into Kosovo at all. They are there in a supporting role. They are in fact quite safe and secure.
