The National Organization of State OffIce of Rural Health and iVantage Health Analytics are recognizing Grande Ronde Hospital for its overall excellence in financial strength based upon its high rank among acute care hospitals in the United States. Jim Mattes, president/ CEO of Grande Ronde Hospitalfor the past31years,says it is appropriate that GRH is being saluted as National Rural Health Day, which is Thursday, approaches. National Rural Health Day is an initiative of the National Organization of State OffIces of Rural Health and is an event to highlight rural communities as wonderful places to live and work and increase awareness of rural health-rel atedissues. "I can't think of a more fittinghonor for Rural Health Day than beingrecognized for our financial strength," Mattes said in a GRH news release. Grande Ronde Hospital, a

not-forprofi t,criticalaccess hospital, has been locally owned and operated since 1907 and is one of the few remaining independent, community-owned hospitals in Oregon. M attes believes thatthe recognition GRH is receiving is a credit to many things including prudent financial decisions, ones made at the community level, something he wants to see continue. "Conservative fiscal decisions made at the local level are the strongest foundation we can have to ensure that governance of our community hospital remains in the hands of fiiendsand neighbors, nota facelessboard of ahuge system severalstates away," Mattes said.

The Hospital Strength INDEX captures performance metrics for more than

4,000acute care hospitals, including over 1,300 rural and critical access hospital. Leveraging data from public data sources, INDEX uses complex and sophisticateddata to develop a single strengthoverallrating for each facility. 'These top quartile performers (which include GRHl should take great

pride in this recognition. It showcases their commitment to continuous performance analysis and improvement," said Michael Topchik, senior vicepresident ofiVantage Health Analytics in notification received by GRH. The latest salute GRH has received comes several months after the hospital was accorded another national honor. Earlier this year Grande Ronde Hospital was named one of the iVantage Top 100 critical access hospitals in the nation. GRH scored in the top 100 out of a total of 1,300 Critical Access Hospitals in the United States, based on the iVantage Hospital Strength INDEX, which is one of the the industry's most comprehensive ratings of U.S. acute care hospitals. Hospitals were rated based on measurements from 62 dif ferent performance metrics, including quality, outcomes,patient perspec-

tive, affordability, population risk and effIciency. As part of National Rural Health Day, the Northeast Oregon Area Health Education Center along with the Oregon OffIce of Rural Health, is encouraging individuals to share stories of why rural health is important to them, and by holding a contest where people can submit photos illustrating what rural means to them.

In August, the Sunlight Foundation also delivered a failing grade to Oregon on its anemic edicts regarding expenditure reports. Now, the Oregon Secretary of State's OKce is directing an audit of the public records process in the state while the state attorney general has collected a task force to review public records mandates. Those e6'orts deserve some praise, if for nothing else than it shows state oKcials at least are making an eAort to look into the issue. However, the fact is Oregon needs to do better. There are a number of tools at hand in our democracy to ensure that the people are not hoodwinked by unscrupulous politicians. Our basic checks and balances system is one clear safeguard designed to keep democracy strong. Yet public records laws — mandates designed to allow ordinary citizens to peer into the inner workings of government — are another critical pillar of our democratic foundation. ORen, especially in rural areas, it is diKcult to imagine that there would ever be a need to watch elected and appointed leaders who serve the people. We live in relatively small communities. Many of us know our elected leaders personally, know their families and share history with these individuals. These individuals are not distant faces legislating in Washington, D.C., but people we converse with and boast shared values. Yet it is at the local level where transparency and free distribution of public records is the most critical. Big cities and capitals of governance — such as Salem — are under the media microscope. If anything, there is oken an information overload in such places. Yet, in the secluded pieces of this nation, public oversight can lose its focus. Even the most well-meaning politician can lose his or her way. One of the best methods to obfuscate oversight is to have public records laws that are confusing or contradictory and less than streamlined. The harder it is for the average Oregonian to seek public records regarding any subject, the more democracy loses. We all want to believe that public oversight of politicians and threats to democracy are subjects for television or battles fought elsewhere by other

people. Yet, the real battle line in democracy is in the small-town city halls and rural county courthouses. Oregon needs better and more open public record laws. No excuse &om elected leaders in this matter holds any water. Democracy is designed to be an open process. When it isn't, when politicians and publicly funded agencies operate without public censure, democracy loses.

Your views Mercer: Future of lodge in Northeast Oregon's hands To the Editor: Last summer, the Wallowa Lake Lodge went on the market and was scheduled for auction in late July due to the sudden death of one of the co-owners. A local partnership is attempting to purchase the lodge and has until Jan. 15 to raise suKcient funds to complete the transaction. Wallowa Lake Lodge was built in 1923 and has undergone transitions, most notably in 1944 when Irene Wiggins purchased the lodge along with 300 acres. Since that time guest cabins were constructed, and some of the property became Wallowa Lake State Park. In 1988, Irene and her family sold the lodgetoa partnership ofSteve Larson and Marc and Nancy Zwerling. They upgradedand modernized thelodge,including electrical, plumbing, a new roof, upgraded kitchen and added insulation. The floors have all been refinished, and the exterior was restored to its original appearance with dark board and bat. Itcontinues to beoperatedasa vibrant and profitable business. The future of the lodge is in our hands as residents of Northeastern Oregon. It continues to operate, but if the funds are not raised by the January deadline, the property goes back on the auction block and the fears are that the building will be demolished and replaced with homes, condos and other businesses, that will forever change the head of Wallowa Lake.

FORMS Continued from Page1A makers gain important information about students' skill levels. The portion of the form that has testing opponents most livid are the two sentences above the line where a parent must put their signature to get their child out of testing: "I understand that by signing this form I may lose valuable information about how well my child is progressing in English language arts and math. In addition, opting out may impact my school and district's efforts to equitably distribute resources and support student learning." Steve Buel, a Portland school board member who is a leader in the antitesting group Oregon Save Our Schools, called the forms "maliciously misleading." The forms were drawn up after wide consultation with teachers, parents, testingexperts,schooladministrators and others, said Crystal Greene, the education department's communicationsdirector. Given emotionally charged views about testing, "it is unlikely that we w ouldeverbe able to create aform that would please everyone," Greene said. But those who gave input largely agreed the final version was an improvement from theearly draft,she said. Nationally, parents and teachers have generated a huge backlash against what they seeas an epidemic ofovertesting in U.S. schools, driven in part by the testingmandates ofthe 2001federalNo Child Left Behind law. A recent study found that the typical student in a U.S. big city school district must take about eight standardized testsperyear,foran average of112 tests from kindergarten through high school graduation.

Nationally, parents and teachers have generated a huge backlash against what they see as an epidemic of overtesting in U.S. schools, driven in part by the testing mandates of the 2001 federal No Child Left Behind law. 2015 Legisl ature to secureunfettered rights for parents to get their children exemptedfrom testing.A testscoreis a narrow measure of what a student knows, and focusing too heavily on tests can narrow the curriculum, they say. The hopeamong many testing opponents is to lessen schools' emphasis on preparing for the tests and using the results to drive decisions by having few students take them. Testing proponents, on the other hand, say parents, students and teachers deserve a clear signal once each year ofhow on track each student is to being readyforcollege,based on a readiness standardagreed to by 17 states.Having all students take the tests, not just some students, gives the most accurate indicator ofhow well a school has prepared all its students, including those in special education and those learning English as a second language, proponents say. Oregon's form leans heavily toward that point of view. The two-page notice prominently says thatOregon'sstandardized tests"challenge your child to think critically and apply his or her knowledge to real-world problems" and "help identify schools and districts that need additional supports to ensure more students are meeting higher standards." Testing opponents say the forms are a smarmy over-sell of the value of taking

Reynolds of CM Company of Boise, Idaho, the general contractor for the school district's bond project work. Reynolds is optimistic that, barring the unforeseen, the classroom project will be finished by late December. "If everything works out well, we will be there on time," Reynolds said. Greenwood Elementary School Principal Ryan Westenskow said the construction work has posed some minor inconveniences for students and staf, but they know that it will be well worth it. ''We are really excited. It's been a challenge this fall, but we are taking it with a grain of salt because we know we are going to get something really cool,"Westenskow said. He noted that the construction workers have been

Another sore point with testing opponents: The forms pointedly do not say how long the tests last, which is generally about 8-V2 to nine hours, depending on grade level. Instead they say: "The tests are not timed so your child can take as long as he or she needs to fully demonstrate what he or she knows and can do. With our new exams, your child only tests once each year, unlike our previous exams which many students took multiple times. Some testing opponents are so upset about the form's language above the signature line, they say they will not sign the form but will try to get their child exempted from testing with a protest letter they write themselves. The state has formally directed all superintendents to provide the notices to parentsatleast30 daysbefore they begin giving Smarter Balanced exams, which can start as early as February. As for the forms, the state education department told superintendents, "Please note: The official opt-out form may not

be modified."

good about not doing work that would be disruptive. "The construction people have been really responsive," Westenskow said. Greenwood's kindergarten students are currently taught in two classrooms in the school. These classrooms will be used for music classes and Greenwood's special education program once the kindergarten complex is completed. Presently, Greenwood's special education teacher works in a small room, and its music teacher, Kate Dunlap, is doing without a classroom, going from class to class teaching music. "She has put her classroom on a cart,"Westenskow said. The addition of the kindergartensection isjustone of many improvements being made at Greenwood with

bond funds. They include new windows, which keep in the heat during the winter and have a cooling impact in the spring and summer, improved outdoor drainage and a buzz-in security system. Westenskow, in his first year at Greenwood, is delighted to have the opportunity to be there as upgrades are being made. 'This is really exciting. I'm lucky to have come in at a point in which so much neat stuff is happening,"Westenskow said.

According to Molly Woon, communications director for the Oregon Secretary of State's office, Rasmussen has the option of submitting a formal letter of complaint within 90 days of the incident to begin an investigation into the situation. Woon said there had not been a formal complaint filedasofFriday.However, she said if Rasmussen chooses to go through the state agency office, those reviewing the case would want any relevant supporting documentation. Otherwise, all parties involved would have to be questioned. 'There would need to be some clarifying questions," Woon said of an investigation of a casethatdidnothave any documentation."(The parties would be asked) when the conversation took place — whether it was during public time or not." Woon said if this situation occurred during working hours, that would be a significant factor in determining whether it was an elections violation. If Rasmussen doesn't initiate an investigation by the Oregon Secretary of State's office, the matter will be left in the hands of the county. Commissioner Mark Davidson said the county is approaching the situation as apersonnelmatter. "I've asked iUnion County Administrator)

he holidays are upon us. It's time for Turkey dinner, Christmas music and controversies overa certain coffee company's choice of cup. When I was in college, I did a stint in retail. Yes, that is the correct way to think back on that job experience. I "survived three holiday retail seasons," is what I always wanted to put on a T-shirt. There's no other way to look back on retail and remember this time of year. It's survival of the fittest during these holiday months for someone who works in retail. And I'm not using the word"holiday" to tiptoe around offending people. The retail holiday season begins several weeks before Halloween, and ends after New Year's. Christmas songs begin to play around Halloween time and then get exponentially more common as thecalendar year comes to an end. The store hours get longer il remember many nights closingthe store atabout 1 a.m.l and I remember having to wear pajamas to work to promote the pajama sale happening — no, it's not fun to wear pajamas to work. Trust me. I remember the Black Fridays. Though I was always lucky enough to either get it off so I can spend Thanksgiving with my family in Ontario, or get the night shift when shoppers are few because they're exhausted from their early morning excitement. I just had to tackle the m ounds of clothesleftover.I heardthehorror storiesfrom the opening shift who barely survived with their lives, though. Yes, the holiday season is officially upon us. While it is a lovely time of the year to spend with family and friends,there arethepoor, unfortunate souls being yelled at for running out of stock of the shirt their daughter just had to get, havingtore-fold thetable of pantsor shirtsfor the thousandth time in the same shift and being elbowed out of the way by someone who is just in too much of a hurry to get tothenextstore.It'sall happened to me and it's all for the sake of this holiday season. My column is not to bah humbug Thanksgiving and Christmas. My column is to remind people that while you're out shopping for your lovedones,there'saretail worker trying to make some extra cash so they can buy gifts for theirloved ones. Customer service is not an easy job in general. Retail is a special kind of job, especially during this time of the year. Just remember to smile and thankyour friendly retail worker when they've retrieved the shirt that you thought was out of stock or when you're done with the transaction. Those workers are generally pulling long hours and have dealt with many people blaming them for things completely out of their control. Appreciate them. And forgoodness sakes refold the shirt if you're not going to buyit.

No. 8 Southern Oregon University needed a win to ensure a spot in the NAIA National Football Series, and it played like it Saturday. The Raiders stormed out of the gates for a 14-0 lead, and Eastern Oregon University could never trim the lead to single digits during a 48-37 Frontier Conference loss to Southern in the season finale at Community Stadium. Running back Melvin Mason led the defending champion Raiders, who play Kansas Wesleyan University at home in the first round of the playoffs, with 91 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Tanner Trosin threw for 215 yards and a score

Eastern Oregon senior capscareer The Eastern Oregon University football team lost its season finale Saturday, falling to No. 8 Southern Oregon University 48-37 at home. Senior Gary Posten put the finishing touches on a great season in his final year at Eastern, leading the team with 14 tackles. That gave the linebacker 140 tackles on the season, which was easily the most in the Frontier Conference.

ern's a good team. I think we're good, too. It's just a matter of making the plays when they're there for you. And we didn't make enough (Saturday)." One of those seniors was Jace Billingsley, who caught five receptions for a team-high 87 yards and a touchdown. He was obviously disappointed after the game but liked the way the team scratched and clawed against the Raiders even in defeat. "Southern has a great offense and a very athletic defense," he said."They were fighting for that playoff spot. But I was proud of the way the team fought the whole time, no one gave up. All I can do now is be thankful for all the memories I've had, the teammates I've met and everything the coaches have done for me." Billingsley leaves Eastern with his imprint all over the Mountie program, holding records in catches in a SeeFinale/Page 10A

The Wallowa Cougars had just taken a 22-point lead late in the third quarter and were in prime position to advance to the Class 1A football semifinals. But the last 13 minutes of Saturday'squarterfi nalgame belonged to Perrydale. Haylen Janesofsky accounted for four touchdowns, Keenan Bailey scored the game-winner on a late pick-six and the Pirates came back to stun an injury-riddled Wallowa 42-36toimprove to 10-0 and reach the semifinals. 'Two great teams played each other and one had to win," Perrydale head coach Chris Gubrud said. W ith the score tied at 36-all and Wallowa driving for a potential game-winning score, Bailey jumped in front of a Koby Frye pass and returned the interception 65 yards to put Perrydale up by six with just 44 seconds remaining — its first lead since going up 8-0 early in the game. "I read it perfectly," Bailey said of the game-winner."I knew they would throw that.

Cards win thriller over Seahawks The Associated Press

NFL

The NFC West goes through Arizona atter the Cardinals shoved aside the Seattle Seahawks. Carson Palmer threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns, Andre Ellington had a 48yard touchdown run with 1:58 remaining and the Cardinals moved threegames ahead in the NFC West with a wild 39-32 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday night. Palmer helped the Cardinals

A year ago Arizona was in command of the division at the midpoint of the season, only to crumble down the stretch after Palmer was lost to a season-ending knee injury.

There's no doubt about it. He has meant everything to our football program." Senior linebacker Gary Posten led the team with 14 tackles, and senior safety Adam Bese chipped in 12 tackles for the Eastern defense, which saw Southern score in the first two minutes of the game.

The Mounties forced a turnover on downs on the next Southern drive, but were forced to punt on their ensuing possession. A 32-yard J.J.

There seemed to be a little taste of salton my apple as I bitintoit and sat before the fire in the chill of an early autumn evening, and yet, I hadn't used a salt shaker. The apple was crisp and cold as though it had been freshly gathered beforeJoelhad delivered them from the placewhere Iused to live,the place called Edelweiss. Somehow I couldn't hold the memory at bay knowing that the yearned-for apples were now mine to eat fresh, thanks to the owners, and m ake applesauce forthefreezerso that I could enjoy it all winter long, and any other uses I could manage with the big bag full of fruit. The apples were now Goldstein apples, but they had the same crispness, flowing juice, and aroma that matched the memory, and for the moment I could feel that I was back on the hill where fall was in attendance and I stood among the trees where apples were extended to me in almost any direction. The oldfashioned ciderpressstands in front of the garage and the sound of the crank of the press assures us of a finejob ofapple cider asthe apples arechopped into bits and then pressed togetherto releasethejuice. Deer wait their turn in the shadows of the pine trees while plaid-jacketed folks in jeans jostle the dust from the apples being dunked in the galvanized tubs of water freshly drawn from the depth of the well. Small streams of water slosh from the tub and make little rivulets in the soil beneath our shoes and trickle down the hill towards the barn road. As I take another bite of apple, the scene shifts to my sister sitting in a secludedspot eating an apple and reading a book and the scene is vivid in my memory. It was such a favorite time for her that I wouldn't ask her to come play with me but would seek my special place in the attic of the house and my little box of treasures which I now have noidea what they may have been. The sun would stream in the little window and warm my back as I sat on the unvarnishedwood plank floor. And, while in the present I sit here in my comfortable chair before the fireplace taking in these scenes of memory, I take yet another bite of apple and plan the next day's adventure with the apples now on the table but some destinedfor storage in thelower drawers of the refrigerator for daily fresh eating. I wonder how one will taste fried with potatoes, onions and slices of bratwurst, then served with buttered toast — and maybe jam. Perhaps an added egg would round out the meal. I m ay even bake a loafofbread in order to useitforthe toast. At the sink, I will wash other apples, being sure there is a mixture of types fortaste,and then peel,core,and slice into a pan for heating on the stove with a bit of added water until the apples turn into cooked pieces floating in their juice, awaiting the addition of enough sugar to sweeten slightly and a bit of cinnamon and cloves, spices to add just a touch of their specialty.

Every year on Thanksgiving Day, the same scene plays out on countless American dinner tables. You score with the holiday bird's thigh meat iso moist and juicy) but itsbreast,most unfortunately, is a dry and stringy epic fail. Thank goodness for gravy. Or maybe it's the reverse. The breast meat carvesintotender,magi cal slices, but the thighs and drumsticks, which your darkmeat-loving family members always fight over, are overly pink and rubbery to the touch. Everyone has to wait while you pop the pieces back into the oven for additionalroasting. For a dish that seems like it should be so easy, a properly cooked Thanksgiving turkey actually requires some fussing over, what with the white meat always cooking faster than the dark meat, no matter how carefully you tent it when the breast hits 150 degrees on an instantread thermometer. Itdoesn'thave to beso. Break the bird down intoparts to becooked individually, or buy your turkey legs and a breast separately from the get-go, and you solve the problem.White and dark cook on their own terms, and as a result, no one gets stuck with over- or under-cooked poultry. There are other reasons it makes sense to cook a turkey in parts during the holidays. Maybe you're cooking forjusta couple ofguests instead of a crowd, or your family likes the delicate breast meat so much more than dark. Or maybe you simply want to spend more time socializing. A whole turkey can take upwards of three or more hours to roast ilonger if it's stuffed). Braised drumsticks only take about 90 minutes, while a whole breast only needs about two hours. While finding turkey legs could be a challenge, most larger grocery stores sell frozen turkey breasts year-round. How to proceed? You can roast the turkey parts in the same pan at 350 degrees, after rubbing them with butter, salt, pepper and herbs iadd the turkey legs after the breast has been in

MAPLE SYRUPMUSTARD GLAZED TURKEY BREAST PG tested It takes some planning, but brining your turkey makes the meat supermoist and tender. This easy recipe is flavored with apple cider and maple syrup. I used a half breast (about 3 pounds) and it turned out great. For brine and turkey 2 cups apple cider /2 cup maple syrup /2 bunch fresh thyme leaves 2 bay leaves /2 cup kosher salt 1 orange, cut into quarters 1 whole bone-in, skinon turkey breast (about 5 pounds) For spice rub and glaze 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon paprika /2 teaspoon dry mustard /2 teaspoon dried sage "/4 teaspoon granulated garlic "/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper "/4 cup maple syrup 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

For brine: In pot large enough to hold the turkey breast comfortably, combine 2 quarts water with cider, maplesyrup,thyme, bay leaves, salt and orange quarters. Bring just to a simmer. Add 2 quarts ice water (about half ice/half water). Let come to room temperature. Submerge turkey in brine, cover and refrigerate overnight or all day (about 12 hours). Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange a rack in large roasting pan (a Vneck roasting rack is ideal, but any rack will work). Remove turkey from brine, rinse well and patdry.Loosen skin off turkey breast with fingers and rub butter under the breast skin. In small bowl, stir together paprika, dry mustard, sage, granulated garlic and pepper and rub all over the turkey breast. Set turkey on rack breast side up and roast for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together maple syrup and mustard. After 30 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and brush turkey with some of the glaze. Continue to roast, basting twice more, until meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast reads 165 degrees, about 1"/z hours, depending on the size of breast. Let turkey rest on cutting board for 15 minutes before carving. Serves 6, with leftovers. "FarmhouseRules: Simple, Seasonal Meals -

A 'pineapple' tree? A few years ago (six to be exact) we discovered that the Grande Ronde Valley had a pineapple tree. Yep, literally as you can see. Somehow a pine tree and an apple tree had grown together in an old orchard and created something I found interesting.

I alsowant to crochet afghans, scarves and hats and knit sweaters and caps. Inspite ofa roomful of skeins of yarn, I can hardly by-pass the yarn and yardage departments at the stores. And, then, I want to get out my unfinished embroidery work and do a few more stitches on a pillowslip or tablecloth. But, worst of all is the urge ofnecessity to deepclean my closets — clothes and linens. With all of that on my agenda, maybe the guilt feelings will pass by the time I get near the end of my list and I wait for springto do the lastone.

: Let me refer to a column that I wrote back in 011, I believe, in which I interviewed Christopher Burk, technical product manager at Simonton Windows in Columbus, Ohio. ''While condensation may collect on the interior or exterior of energy-efficient windows, the units are really doing their job by helping serve as a barrier in the home," Burk said. Windows themselves don't cause condensation. They just prevent the moisture in the house Irom escaping to the outside. "If the inside glass surface on double- or triple-glazed windows shows excessive moisture, you can be reasonably sure that the moisture is also collecting on your walls and ceilings," Burk said. "This means you should take steps to reduce the humidity level in your home by using exhaust fans and dehumidifiers."

Paristerroristattacks seem likely to compel President Barack Obama to consider military escalation against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. But that probably will not mean dramatic moves like launching a U.S. or international ground offensive or accelerating aerial bombing in hopes of eliminating theglobalthreatofviolent extremism. e You aren't going to bomb ISIS back to the Stone Age," Anthony Cordesman, a longtime Middle East analyst, said Saturday. Cordesman and other American defense analysts said Obama may deepen U.S. involvement incrementally by,for example,embedding U.S. military advisers closer to the &ont lines ofbattle with Iraqi forces and with anti-IS fighters in Syria. But that and similar moves to intensify U.S. support for local forces is unlikely to produce quick results. As Cordesman sees it, yearsoftragicterrorist attacks like Paris are almost inevitable,and there are no near-term solutions. StephenBiddle,a George Washington University professor of international affairs, said the Paris attack may create a political imperative to do more militarily against IS, but he thinks it would be a mistake to launch a U.S. ground war. "To defeat ISIL decisively would require hundreds of thousands of Western ground troops, but nobody thinks the

ISIL threat warrants that scale of commitment, and in fact it doesn't," Biddle said. At the core of the U.S. strategy in Iraq is a belief thatunless localforcesare empowered to retake and secure their own territory, any military gains the U.S. could make by leading the charge would be short-lived. In Syria, Obama had been unwilling to get more involved in a civil war, although he recently agreed to send a few dozen special operations forces. One new wrinkle since Friday's attacks in Paris is the prospect of France asking its NATO allies to come to its aid, invoking the 28 members' treaty obligation to consider an armed attack on one member as an attack against them all. That has happened only once in NATO's 66-year history: in the aftermath of

James Stavridis, the retired Navy admiral who served as NATOs top commander in Europe from 2009 to 2013, said NATO should play a military role now. "NATO's actions need to be deliberate, meaningful and at a significant scale," Stavridis said by email, adding that consultations among the allies should begin shortly. Stavridis, who is dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, said NATO special forces could be called on in Iraq and Syria as aircraft spottersand as trainersof anti-IS fighters. They also could gatherintelligence and conduct raids, he said. The alliance should welcome nonmember participants, including Russia, he said.
