Note:
(a) "美台雙邊年度國防檢討會談（ＤＲＴ）今天 [June 20] 在美國國防大學 [National Defense University; located at Washington DC] 舉行。據了解，對於台灣提出的軍事交流、採購新型高教機、潛艦國造與發展國防自主工業，美方多持正面看法，表示會進一步研究，未在會中做明確答覆。 * * * 至於今年的國防檢討會談，台灣由國防部軍政副部長李喜明 [Deputy Defense Minister Li Hsi-ming] 率團，並首次由主管國防事務的國安會副秘書長陳文政 [York Chen, deputy secretary-general of the National Security Council] 與會，美方則由代理亞太助理部長瑪格莎曼 [Kelly E Magsamen, acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security Affairsm US Department of Defense] 擔任團長。"

This is a separate meeting. DRT stands for Defense Review Talks -- dialogues between Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense and the Pentagon, since 2003.
