Maybe this isn't a suitable time, but before the S&L crises started in Texas, when
some invested for even $100 a barrel, what does this mean:

TARIQ AZIZ: Our policy in OPEC opposes sudden jumps in oil prices.

HUSSEIN: Twenty-five dollars a barrel is not a high price.

GLASPIE: We have many Americans who would like to see the price go above $25 because they come
from oil-producing states.

HUSSEIN: The price at one stage had dropped to $12 a barrel and a reduction in the modest Iraqi budget of $6 billion to
$7 billion is a disaster.

GLASPIE: I think I understand this. I have lived here for years. I admire your extraordinary efforts to rebuild your
country. I know you need funds. We understand that and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild
your country. But we have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with
Kuwait.

Anyway, seems like the situation is much better now.
