protocols at any time after President Bush signs the instruments of
ratification. Post will endeavor to conclude the exchange before

Foreign Affairs Ungureanu's availability. The MFA is also willing

Deputy Minister) level. Galea received the proposed text of the
protocol and promised to review it. He indicated he may propose
some changes to the text, but that they would not affect the
substance.
