Turkey and the other nations that have to bear the border disputes most vividlyup to $13 billion has been pledged by allied nations to the frontline states and we cannot get any indication actually how much has been paid. We do not know. because the State Department and Defense Department would not release those figures. if indeed they do know. So out of the total 20 billion dollars worth of pledges. we know that $4.3 billion has been paid in and we do not know how much else in refugee relief or whatever has been forthcoming. So my concern is that what you are going to get out of this is that after the United States pays the ultimate price and after we take the casualties and after we pay the $30 billionwhich. incidentally. is added to our deficit. it Is not in the budget at all. it Is additional deficit dollars--we are going to borrow money from our trading partners to fight the war that gets them their oil and then we are going to get the privilege of paying them. with interest. for fighting their war. So before we engage In that enterprise.
