Perry seeking breakthrough with Russians
Defense Secretary William Perry said he will make one final attempt at a meeting in Belgium to end the deadlock with Russia over its role in a NATO peacekeeping force in Bosnia. If no agreement is reached the force will proceed without Russia. He noted optimism but called confidence too strong and said the last discussion is expected. He will then visit a German training range for the 5th Corps preparations potentially involving up to 20,000 U.S. troops.
