''I think we do agree on one central goal, and that is the need to end the threat that landmines pose to civilians. The best way to do that is to proceed full speed ahead with the job of pulling mines from the soil like the noxious weeds that they are. I am proud that the United States is far and away the world leader in mine removal programs.''

Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, 8 April 1999
