U.S. COST ESTIMATE FOR NATO ENLARGEMENT.

Publication: Monitor Volume: 3 Issue: 38

The Clinton Administration will submit to Congress a 31-page report concluding that NATO enlargement could cost up to $35 billion over the next 12 years, but that the U.S. contribution should equal no more than $200 million per year. The report foresees that new NATO member states would cover about 35 percent of enlargement costs, the U.S. would pay 15 percent, and other current NATO members would contribute 50 percent.
