Remarks With Sir Paul McCartney, Heather Mills, and Ambassador William Luers

SECRETARY POWELL: I am going to turn Mr. McCartney and Heather Mills over to you, and say a few words about our meeting. We had a good meeting and are very proud of U.S. efforts to support the Adopt-a-Minefield program. Also, we have contributed something like $500 million over the last several years -- seven years, to be precise -- to remove minefields. We still have concerns about the convention that Paul and Heather are so supportive of, but we have some reservations. But there are many areas in which we can cooperate, and I am very pleased to have a chance to exchange views with both of them.
