(ON THE RECORD UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)

Q: If the Secretary sees these people like the Macedonians and the
Hungarians, does he offer them the anti-missile shield? Is this coming
into the conversation?

MR. REEKER: I think we will leave it for the President's speech to
begin that this afternoon.

Q: I mean, in so far as whether Powell is offering it to Macedonia and
to Hungary?

MR. REEKER: I am just not going to go into any more
details on missile defense issues at this point.
