(letter 1) Dear Mr. President:

I am an American of (Estonian, Latvian or Lithuanian) descent and I write to let you know how important it is for me to see my ancestral country (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) be invited to join NATO. During your Presidential campaign you indicated that you would support taking up NATO enlargement at the next NATO Summit meeting in 2002. I trust you will do so. The enlargement of NATO is in the interest of the United States in securing Trans-Atlantic peace and stability.

Hopefully, the U.S. will lead its NATO allies at the next NATO Summit in inviting all qualified applicants to become members. I especially urge that the Baltic countries be invited. They made great progress since regaining their independence and they can contribute significantly to the Alliance

(letter 2) Dear Mr. President:

I urge you to take a leadership role in enlarging NATO and inviting the Baltic countries to become members. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are working democracies with free market economies and the rule of law. They are also doing all they can to meet the established standards of NATO membership and they can be expected to contribute their fair share of resources to the Alliance. The enlargement of NATO is in the interest of the United States in securing peace and stability.

(letter 3) Dear Mr. President:

Please support the enlargement of NATO and lead our NATO allies in inviting at the next NATO Summit meeting all qualified aspirants to become members. The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are prepared to join and should be invited. Please do not permit Russian objections to result in the Baltics being denied NATO membership.
