State
Moscow, Russia

DEPUTY SECRETARY ARMITAGE: Thank you very much and I am
honored to be in your presence and I thank you for having
some time for us today. We note with great sadness that no
country has suffered recently more than the Russian
Federation the scourge of terrorism. Not withstanding our
upcoming election it is our duty, our job, and our honor
to be here to stand side-by-side with our Russian friends
as we move to defeat the scourge and the horror and tragedy
of Beslan, which causes Americans to mourn with Russian
citizens. There is a new urgency in the war in which Mr.
Kislyak and I are engaged, and I'm authorized to promise
you our utmost efforts in a practical, real, achievable
sense, not a rhetorical sense. Thank you.
