STATEMENT FROM SECRETARY RUMSFELD
March 11, 2003

“I have no doubt of the full support of the United Kingdom for the international community’s efforts to disarm Iraq. In my press briefing today, I was simply pointing out that obtaining a second United Nations Security Council Resolution is important to the United Kingdom and that we are working to achieve it.

“In the event that a decision to use force is made, we have every reason to believe there will be a significant military contribution from the United Kingdom.”
