The Disam Journal Of International Security Assistance Management Volume 24 Number 1 Fall 2001

As in every issue, we have something for everyone. We begin featuring security assistance in Slovenia. The country, which only ten years ago was part of Yugoslavia is moving quite successfully from socialism to a free market economy. Using a variety of security assistance tools, with IMET as a key ingredient, the development of the Slovenian Defense Forces and U.S. foreign policy objectives are both being furthered. Stability has been enhanced in what has been a crisis-ridden area of the world. The events of September 11 focused comments at the annual DSCA Conference which kicked off barely two weeks later. While the next issue of the DISAM Journal will provide more details on initiatives addressed there, this issue will outline them. We also bring you excerpts of Congressman Henry Hyde's address to the conference -- noting the "agenda has been set for us."
