TOAST IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN
THE WHITE HOUSE \ JUNE 16, 1992 \ 8:00 P.M.
MR. PRESIDENT, MRS. YELTSIN, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS:
BARBARA AND I ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU HERE
TONIGHT. //
MR. PRESIDENT, TONIGHT'S DINNER IS A BIT MORE
FORMAL THAN THE BLUE JEANS AND SWEATERS WE WORE BACK IN
FEBRUARY AT CAMP DAVID. BUT I BELIEVE THE PROGRESS WE
MADE TODAY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE
TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER AT CAMP DAVID.
- 2 -
I ALSO RECALL THE PRESS CONFERENCE WE HELD. AT THE
END OF YOUR VISIT, WHEN WE LITERALLY "CROSSED WIRES"
-- GOT OUR HEADPHONES MIXED UP. EVERY- TIME I SAID A
-
WORD, I HEARD A TINY RUSSIAN VOICE. EVERY TIME I
STOPPED -- II STOPPED. I LOOKED OVER AT YOU -- YOU
WEREN'T SAYING A WORD. I REMEMBER AT THE TIME
THINKING, "THERE MUST BE BETTER A WAY TO LEARN
RUSSIAN." //
72 JUN 16 JUN 16 P12: 59
- 3 -
As I SAID THIS MORNING AS I WELCOMED YOU TO THE
WHITE HOUSE, THIS MEETING MARKS A NEW KIND OF SUMMIT:
NOT A MEETING BETWEEN TWO POWERS STRUGGLING FOR GLOBAL
SUPREMACY -- BUT BETWEEN TWO PARTNERS, STRIVING TO
BUILD A DEMOCRATIC PEACE.
THIS NEW RELATIONSHIP HAS ITS ROOTS IN THE NEW
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION -- AND THAT REVOLUTION OWES MUCH TO
OUR GUEST TONIGHT. JUST AS CRISES SHOW THE METTLE OF A
MAN, so TOO THEY SHOW THE STRENGTH OF AN IDEA.
- 4 -
WHEN, BACK IN AUGUST OF 1991, THE OLD GUARD THREATENED
TO TAKE RUSSIA BACKWARD -- BORIS YELTSIN LED THE
DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY FROM THE BUILDING RUSSIANS CALL
THE WHITE HOUSE. THE COUP PLOTTERS SET OUT TO DESTROY
DEMOCRACY -- INSTEAD THEY MADE IT STRONGER.
MR. PRESIDENT, YOU'VE BEEN DESCRIBED MANY TIMES AS
A MAVERICK -- A WORD COINED IN THE AMERICAN HEARTLAND
TO CAPTURE THE INDEPENDENT STREAK THAT SETS SOME
INDIVIDUALS APART FROM THE CROWD.
- 5 -
I THINK MY FELLOW TEXAN JIM BAKER WOULD AGREE: You
POSSESS A CERTAIN SPIRIT YOU FIND ON THE PLAINS OF WEST
TEXAS.
TONIGHT WE HONOR YOUR COURAGE -- AND CELEBRATE THE
NEW POSSIBILITIES NOW OPEN TO US. THINK BACK TO THE
COLD WAR CLIMATE THAT MARKED EARLIER SUMMITS, AND HOW
FAR WE'VE COME. How MUCH SAFER, HOW MUCH MORE
HOPEFUL -- TO MEET TONIGHT AS FRIENDS, UNITED BY COMMON
IDEALS. //
- 6 -
MORE THAN 150 YEARS AGO, ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE
PREDICTED THAT THE U.S. AND RUSSIA WOULD ONE DAY BE THE
WORLD'S TWO GREAT POWERS -- RIVALS FOR WORLD DOMINANCE.
WE MUST PROVE THAT PROPHESY WAS ONLY TRUE FOR A TIME
-- AND THAT OUR TWO NATIONS CAN FORGE A NEW FUTURE, IN
FREEDOM. //
OUR GOVERNMENTS WILL WORK TO BUILD STRONGER TIES,
FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY. WE IN THIS
COUNTRY MUST REACH OUT -- PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE THAT
CAN HELP RUSSIA'S DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION SUCCEED.
- 7 -
BUT THE BONDS THAT KNIT DEMOCRACIES TOGETHER CAN NEVER
BE CREATED BY GOVERNMENT ALONE. DEMOCRACIES GROW
TOGETHER THROUGH THE COUNTLESS ENCOUNTERS THAT TAKE
PLACE EVERY DAY BETWEEN PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND
PROFESSIONALS, BUSINESS AND LABOR, ARTISTS AND
EDUCATORS - -- IN YOUR COUNTRY AND MINE.
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN VAST PARTS OF OUR COUNTRIES
WERE OFF-LIMITS TO FOREIGN VISITORS.
- 8 -
-
UNDER OUR NEW OPEN LANDS AGREEMENT, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN OFFICIALS -- AND MORE IMPORTANT,
RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN CITIZENS -- WILL BE FREE TO TRAVEL
ANYWHERE IN EACH OTHER COUNTRIES -- TO WITNESS THE
CUSTOMS AND HERITAGE THAT SET US APART, AND THE COMMON
HUMANITY THAT DRAWS US TOGETHER.
TONIGHT, MR. PRESIDENT, I OFFER THIS TOAST IN THE
SPIRIT OF FRIENDSHIP:
- 9 -
To THE NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN OUR PEOPLE; TO THE
SUCCESS OF THE NEW RUSSIAN REVOLUTION; AND TO THE NEW
WORLD OF FREEDOM WE SEEK.

Dear Bob,
Thanks for your straightforward letter. It
contained much food for thought, and I want you to

ugly -- under attack from the right and left; but I
remain confident.

your steadfast support.

Washington, DC 20500
Dear Eagle:
Let's hope this gets to you. Ron Kaufman assures me it
will.
Four years ago in hard times we shared a correspondence
that made a difference. Maybe this will too.
There's not a lot confusing about this election. You
represent the status quo. Clinton represents the Democratic
political response. Perot represents the anger of America.
You're in neutral, Eagle. You can fly over the landscape
and wait for Perot to self-destruct (which I predict he won't)
or assume Clinton is a dead duck already (which I predict he
isn't). Or you can swoop down and take a closer look.
Take Perot. Image, action, and money. He needs only one
more word to take it all. That word is safe. He doesn't
have it and he'll never get it. When America votes for Perot,
it takes a chance. You've got to prove it's not worth taking.
Think twice before you send a quail out to do an Eagle's work.
Surrogates if they score make you look weak. Surrogates who
fail make you look weaker.
I won't dwell on Clinton. He's the crow waiting to feed
on scraps left to him if you stay comatose and Perot drops
from the skies.
Years ago I worked for a famous adman who was called to
Washington by President Eisenhower during a deep recession.
The problem was then as it is today: people out of work,
business stalled, morale low. His suggested slogan flew into
the face the facts: BUSINESS IS GOOD! Not only did America
buy it, they went out and proved it.

There's a lessor here. Americans would rather hope than
fear. We are driver by optimism. We can abide bad times if
we sense better time are coming. WE'RE COMING BACK is a
rallying cry that works wonders on the body politic as it
does when a doctor tells a patient "you're going to be all
right".
Your campaign needs drive and spirit (remember how we took
Iowa in 1980?). Your campaign needs to knife through the gloom
and show that after the long, hard winter, there will come
spring. And you do this not by boring America with statistics,
but by painting a picture of the future you personally will
lead America to.
Only in America, do dreams become reality. Build it and
they will come turned an Iowa cornfield into a national monument.
But you've got to dream it, you've got to say it, you've got to
lay down the baselines.
You Eagle. Not your advisors. Not your surrogates. You!
I. 26 Robert Goodman
Sincerely,
President

SURVEY OVERVIEW
Southwest Research Associates is pleased to present the results
of this survey. This report contains the results of a telephone
survey of 400 randomly regenerated telephone numbers from
Lubbock and surrounding counties. Responses to the survey were
gathered on June 8, through June 9, 1992, As is always the
case, responses to a random sample may result in a sample that
is slightly at variance with the actual ethnic population of
the total audience. For instance, in this case the number of
respondents who identify themselves as Hispanic, while closely
representative of the U. S. Hispanic population as a whole, is
somewhat under-representated of that population. Effect upon
the results is minimal in this case, since a larger than
necessary sample was taken. Sample size should result in an
accuracy level of plus or minus 5% with a confidence level of 95
percent.

A Note to the Reader
For the first time H. Ross Perot has moved ahead of
George Bush on the South Plains as front runner in the race
for President.
Statistically the race is now a dead heat between Bush
and Perot. Perot leads 35 percent to 34 percent for Bush.
The survey, conducted monthly by Southwest Research
Associates of public attitudes among 400 respondents in
Lubbock and surrounding counties, has a margin of error of
plus or minus 5 percent. (The survey's results closely
track the results of a nationwide survey released three
days earlier by CNN relative to Bush and Perot. That
survey gave Perot 39 percent and Rush 31 percent, with 25
percent going to Clinton.)
Bill Clinton, the Arkansas governor and apparent
Democrat nominee, trails in the South Plaine survey as a
distant third, with 16 percent. Fifteen percent say they
are undecided how they would vote if the election were now.
Apparently, at this stage of the campaign, Perot is
hurting Bush more than Clinton. With Perot out of the race
53 percent of the respondents say they would vote for Bush,
while only 26 percent say they would vote for Clinton.
The survey reveals, however, a continuing state of
flux and frustration among potential voters. While 56
percent say they have pretty well made up their minds" as
to how they will probably vote in November, a sizeable 34
percent say they "may change their minds" between now and
then.
In that regard, 59 percent of the respondents say their
vote will probably be finally determined by the different
candidates' stand on specific issues, as opposed to 27
percent who say their vote will be determined by their
general impression of the candidate as a "political
leader."
Perhaps reinforcing that view, 70 percent of the
respondents say they feel they have a general understanding
of what each major political party stands for, but at the
same time 40 percent of them say they think the American
political process would be improved by the formation a
strong third political party. Only 15 percent say the
process would be made worse, while 36 percent say it would
make no difference.
TIIN-14-92 SUN 10:51 R.S.TAPPSCAMPANY
- 2 -
And if such a third party grew out of the Perot
candidacy, 47 percent of those responding say it should
support conservative positions, as opposed to only 13 percent
who say a third party should support liberal positions.
Our own analysis of the survey indicates it is clearly
among those who call themselves "conservative" or "very
conservative, that most of the voter discontent lies on
the South Plains. This could be because most voters here.
describe themselves in those terms. But the discontent
evidently lies among all political persuasions. Those who
say they usually vote Republican would like to see a
potential third party support conservative positions, while
those who usually vote for Democrats would like to see a
third party support liberal positions. It could be argued
that neither conservatives or liberals are completely
satisfied with the political status quo.
The strongest support for a potential third political
party comes from among those who indicated a preference for
Ross Perot. Among those who now indicate a Perot
preference, 57.6 percent say the American political process
would be improved with a third party, while only 8 percent
say the process would be made worse. Among Clinton voters,
39 percent say the process would be improved 17 percent say
it would be worse. Among Bush voters it is evenly split, 23
percent say it should be improved, 23 percent say it would
be made worse, and 40 percent say it would make no
difference.

Lisa Nowlin
There has been a great deal of public comment lately concerning
developments on the national political scene. As you know, Prosident
Bush now has enough delegates to be named the Republican nominee for
a second term, and Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton has secured enough
delegates to be assured the democratic nomination. In addition it
appears Dallas businessman Ross Perot will be on the ballot as an
independent candidate in most if not all the states. Our first

Responses to the survey were gathered on April 21 - April 23,
1992. As is always the case, responses to a random sample
may result in a sample that is slightly at variance with the
actual ethnic population of the total audience. For
instance, in this case the number of respondents who identify

represented of that population. Effect upon the results is
minimal in this case, since a larger that necessary sample

Lisa Nowlin
Hello, my name is
with Southwest Research
Associates. We would like to get your views on three general
subjects, national politics, the national economy, and state
politics, if this is a good time for you.
1) First, Presidential politics. It now appears that Governor
Clinton of Arkansas will be the Democratic nominee for President,
and that President George Bush will be the Republican nominee. It
also appears that Mr. Ross Perot of Dallas will appear on the
ballot as an Independent candidate for President. If Mr. Perot is
successful in his efforts to get on the ballot, and ic we have a
three-way race between Mr. Clinton, Mr. Bush and Mr. Perot in the
November General Election, how do you think you will likely vote
for President?
Clinton
19%
Bush
43%
Perot
26%
No answer
12%
2) NOW, 1f Mr. Perot does not get on the ballot, and if the election
is between Mr. Bush and Mr. Clinton, how do you think you will
likely vote? For Mr. Bush or Mr. Clinton?
Bush
52%
Clinton
31%
No answer
17%
3) In terms of deciding how to vote for President, what is more
important to you, things like character, honesty and leadership,
or is it the way the candidate stands on issues. Is it?
Issues
45%
Character, honesty & leadership
49%
No answer
6%
4) We would like you to rate the three potential candidates, Mr.
Bush, Mr. Clinton and Mr. Perot on those matters. In terms of the
issues that are most important to you, could you tell us which of
those is closest to your own views. Is it?
Bush
43%
Perot
22%
Clinton
20%
No answer
15%
In terms of character, honesty and leadership, who would you place
first, who would you place last, and who would be in the middle?
5) Mr. Bush

many news stories out of Washington in recent weeks and months
concerning things like the House Post Office, the House Bank and
other matters. Reports indicate that many Congressmen wrote
checks on the House Bank without sufficient funds to cover those
checks. The first question is: Would whether or not your
Congressman was involved in this matter influence how you might
vote on his re-election?
Yes, would influence
69%
No, would not influence 24%
No answer
7%
9) Noxt question: In your opinion, was your own congressman involved

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
BRENT SCOWCROF T
2)
SUBJECT:
Letter to Jack Stein
Purpose
To let Jack Stein know your thinking on a range of suggestions
affecting your dealings with American Jews and Israel
Background
As you know, Jack Stein recently wrote you offering up a host of
ideas for improving matters with both American Jews and Israel
(Tab B). The attached letter for your signature essentially
agrees with his ideas on such things as meeting with a group of
rabbis prior to the Jewish High Holy days that come in late
September this year, of holding off any meetings with Jewish
leaders until after June 23, and of having me meet with David
Steiner, AIPAC's new President. Jack's desire to see Pat
Buchanan excluded from the convention obviously touches on
concerns that far transcend the reaction of American Jews. Last,
I am not as confident as Jack seems to be as regards how the
Israelis will vote on June 23, and in any event I would hold off
using him or anyone to carry a message to Rabin or anyone else
until a new government is formed, something that could take
months.
RECOMMENDATION
That you sign the attached letter to Jack Stein at Tab A.

Dear Jack:
It was good to hear from you, and as usual, it
was good to have the benefit of your thinking.
Not surprisingly, in a number of areas, we are
in agreement. We will be careful not to do
anything that could be construed in Israel as
interfering with their elections. But I know
that Brent plans to sit down before long with
David Steiner, and I like the idea of my meeting
with a group of leading rabbis before the Jewish
New Year begins. Any ideas you have regarding
whom to invite would be welcome.
I much appreciate your offer to carry a message
to whomever wins the Israeli election. However,
I suggest we revisit the question later. As you
know, the process of government formation could
well take some time and again we will want to be
sure we avoid doing anything that might appear
to constitute inappropriate involvement in
Israel's affairs.
Thanks again. Barbara joins me in wishing you
and Jean only the best.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. President
Dear George,
I very much appreciated the opportunity to discuss some
issues with you on Wednesday, and as requested am following
up with a summery.
I continue to urge Jim Baker meet with individual groups
to discuss their concerns. His meetings to date have helped
to clear concerns about his positions. The letter from Bob
Lifton, President of the American Jewish Congress, sent
to 5000 Jewish leaders following his meeting with Baker is an
example of the benefit of those meetings.
I urged that you defer meetings with the Jewish
community until after the June 23rd Israeli election.
You were interested in my suggestion that towards the
end of August you meet with 40 leading Rabbis. Our High-
Holidays start the evening of September 29. and millions of
Jews will be hearing sermons by their Rabbis during the ten
day holiday period. You might discuss the issue of Race
Relations, Anti-Semitism, Family and Moral issues as well
as the Bush involvement in the immigration of Ethiopian and
Soviet Jewry, the affort to bring a peace-process into being.
the involvement in securing the Syrian issuing travel visas
to Jews, as well as your continuing financial and political
support for Israel. A new Israeli Government will be in place
at that time with hopefully acceptable positions on
settlements so that the Loan Guarantees can 80 forward.
I urged that you have the new President of AIPAC. David
Steiner, meet with Brent or with Jim Baker. A first step in
bridging the gulf that now exists between the Administration
and AIPAC.
JACOB STEIN
Following our meeting, I had a good meeting with Bob
Teeter and urged him not to involve Pat Buchanan in the
convention. Buchanan is a strong negative in the Community.
All the Israeli polls show Labor with Rabin gaining a
comfortable lead over Shamir. I believe that the lead will
continue to grow and that Rabin will head a new Government.
all Labor, but at the very least, head a Unity Government.
I am planning to 80 to Israel on June 24, after the
election, and would welcome the opportunity to carry your
message of Greeting to the winner (Rabin).
Jean joins me in sending best wishes to Barbara.

ARRIVAL STATEMENT -- PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN OF RUSSIA
SOUTH LAWN \ JUNE 16, 1992 \ 10:00 A.M.
NAINE
MR. PRESIDENT, MRS. YELTSIN, DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS
OF THE RUSSIAN DELEGATION -- WELCOME TO THE UNITED
STATES. AND OF COURSE, ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE COME HERE
TO MARK THIS HISTORIC MOMENT: WELCOME TO THE WHITE
HOUSE. //
MR. PRESIDENT, TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW
ERA -- A NEW KIND OF SUMMIT: NOT A MEETING BETWEEN TWO
POWERS STRUGGLING FOR GLOBAL SUPREMACY -- BUT BETWEEN
e
TWO PARTNERS, STRIVING TO BUILD A DEMOCRATIC PEACE. //
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 2 -
FROM THIS SUMMIT WE SEE A NEW HORIZON: A NEW WORLD
OF PEACE AND HOPE, A NEW WORLD OF COOPERATION AND
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
OUR HOPE IS THAT THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL END FOREVER THE
OLD ANTAGONISMS THAT KEPT OUR PEOPLE APART -- THAT KEPT
THE WORLD IN CONFRONTATION AND IN CONFLICT. //
MR. PRESIDENT, YOUR NATION IS EMBARKED ON A GREAT
EXPERIMENT -- A NEW RUSSIAN REVOLUTION -- WITH FREEDOM
AS ITS GOAL.
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 3 -
THE PROGRESS RUSSIA HAS MADE, AND THE PROMISE OF MORE
TO COME, OWES MUCH TO THE COURAGE AND VISION OF
PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN. MR. PRESIDENT, LIKE PETER THE
GREAT, YOU ARE REDEFINING RUSSIA'S UNDERSTANDING OF
ITSELF -- REDEFINING RUSSIA'S ROLE IN THE WORLD. BUT,
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MODERN RUSSIAN HISTORY, A LEADER
CLAIMS AS HIS AUTHORITY NOT THE DISPENSATION OF HISTORY
-- BUT A DEMOCRATIC MANDATE. //
You Come Here as an elected leader -
elected by the people in a free, fair, qui process
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY- - George Bush Handwriting
- 4 -
ALREADY, MR. PRESIDENT, WE ARE TOGETHER
TRANSFORMING OUR RELATIONS -- WITH BENEFITS NOT SIMPLY
TO OUR TWO NATIONS, BUT TO THE WORLD.
TODAY, THE THREAT OF A CATACLYSMIC CONVENTIONAL WAR
HAS VANISHED WITH THE WARSAW PACT AND THE RISE OF
DEMOCRACY IN RUSSIA. TODAY, THE THREAT OF A NUCLEAR
NIGHTMARE IS MORE DISTANT NOW THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE
THE DAWN OF THE NUCLEAR AGE. //
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 5 -
MR. PRESIDENT, I SAY THIS WITH A SENSE OF PRIDE, A
SENSE OF AWE -- AND ABOVE ALL, A SENSE OF HISTORY:
THERE IS NO GREATER GIFT TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, TO
THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA -- TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD
-- THAN AN END TO THE AWFUL SPECTER OF GLOBAL WAR.
THINK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS: NOT FOR
PRESIDENTS, NOT FOR HEADS OF STATE OR HISTORIANS -- BUT
FOR PARENTS, AND FOR THEIR CHILDREN. IT MEANS A FUTURE
FREE FROM FEAR. //
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 6 -
THIS FIRST U.S.-RUSSIA SUMMIT GIVES US A CHANCE TO
LAY THE FOUNDATION OF A MORE PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS
FUTURE FOR ALL OUR CITIZENS. WE WILL DISCUSS RUSSIA'S
HISTORIC TRANSITION TO THE FREE MARKET -- ITS
INTEGRATION INTO THE WORLD ECONOMY -- AND OUR
COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT THOSE REFORMS. WE WILL SEEK NEW
WAYS TO EXPAND TRADE BETWEEN OUR TWO NATIONS, TO CREATE
WEALTH AND GROWTH AND JOBS -- NEW LEVELS OF MILITARY
COOPERATION TO REDUCE FURTHER THE RISK OF WAR.
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 7 -
FINALLY, NEW AGREEMENTS TO REDUCE NUCLEAR ARMS -- AND
TO REMOVE FROM OUR ARSENALS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE
WEAPONS.
BUT THIS MORNING, I WANT TO FOCUS ON OUR ULTIMATE
GOAL: ON THE CHALLENGE WE FACE TO FORGE A NEW PEACE
-- A PERMANENT PEACE BETWEEN TWO NATIONS WHO MUST
NEVER AGAIN BE ADVERSARIES.
RIGHT NOW, THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA ARE WAGING A
VALIANT STRUGGLE FOR THE VERY SAME RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
WE AMERICANS PRIZE so DEARLY.
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 8 -
THE FATE OF THAT REVOLUTION -- THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY
IN RUSSIA AND THE OTHER NEW NATIONS OF THE OLD SOVIET
EMPIRE -- IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOREIGN POLICY ISSUE OF
OUR TIME.
THE UNITED STATES AND ITS DEMOCRATIC ALLIES MUST
PLAY A KEY ROLE IN HELPING FORGE A DEMOCRATIC PEACE.
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 9 -
THAT IS WHY I URGE CONGRESS ONCE AGAIN TO PASS THE
FREEDOM SUPPORT ACT -- TO STRENGTHEN DEMOCRATIC REFORM
IN RUSSIA AND THE OTHER NEW NATIONS OF THE OLD SOVIET
UNION.
YES, THE AID I'VE REQUESTED FROM THE CONGRESS IS
SIGNIFICANT -- BUT IT IS ALSO A TINY FRACTION OF THE
FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS THIS NATION SPENT TO SECURE PEACE
DURING THE LONG COLD WAR.
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY - George Bush Handwriting
- 10 -
THE RESOURCES WE DEVOTE NOW ARE AN INVESTMENT IN A NEW
CENTURY OF PEACE WITH RUSSIA. //
HISTORY OFFERS US A RARE CHANCE -- A CHANCE TO
ACHIEVE WHAT TWICE BEFORE THIS CENTURY HAS ESCAPED OUR
GRASP: IT IS THE VISION THAT PERISHED TWICE IN THE
BATTLEFIELDS OF EUROPE -- THE VISION THAT GAVE US HOPE
THROUGH THE LONG COLD WAR: THE DREAM OF A NEW WORLD OF
FREEDOM. //
BUSH LIBRARY PHOTOCOPY- George Bush Handwriting
- 11 -
MR. PRESIDENT, WHEN WE THINK OF THE WORLD OUR
CHILDREN AND THEIRS WILL INHERIT, NO SINGLE FACTOR WILL
SHAPE THEIR FUTURE MORE THAN THE FATE OF THE REVOLUTION
NOW UNFOLDING IN RUSSIA. YOUR RUSSIAN REVOLUTION --
LIKE OUR OWN AMERICAN REVOLUTION -- SIMPLY MUST
SUCCEED. //
ONCE AGAIN, WELCOME TO THE WHITE HOUSE -- AND MAY
GOD GRANT A PEACEFUL FUTURE TO THE AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN
PEOPLE.

U.S. MAY WITHDRAW
NAVAL FORCE OFF JORDAN
AMMAN, Jordan -- The U.S. has proposed a plan for enforcing
U.N. sanctions against Iraq that would result in withdrawing a U.S.
naval armada off the Jordanian coast after a team of U.N. observers
arrives to inspect incoming goods at the seaport of Aqaba and
patrol Jordan's long desert border with Iraq, according to
Jordanian and diplomatic sources.
U.S. officials say implementation of the proposal, known as
349
"Aqaba Plus," would be likely to curb what they describe as
shipments of contraband across the Jordanian-Iraqi border in
violation of the sanctions.
UN
w As
At the same time, officials and diplomats here said, it could
expedite shipments of supplies permitted under the U.N. embargo,
thereby saving Iragi and Jordanian importers time and money.
told
Many Jordanians, however, said they see the plan as an
infringement of their country's sovereignty and the U.S. insistence
this
on it largely as pressure for a political gesture. The proposal
also could be politically risky for King Hussein, since he would
at
be allowing foreign inspectors to operate inside Jordan, Jordanian
officials and diplomats said.

ISRAEL AIR CHIEF WARNS
AGAINST NUCLEAR WEAPONS
TEL AVIV -- Israel's air force chief, Maj. Gen. Herzl
Bodinger, said Monday the Jewish state could attack any country
that introduced nuclear weapons into the Middle East. He also
accused the U.S. of failing to do enough to halt the advance of
nuclear technology in the region.
"If we will have any kind of report that any country in the
region is getting close to getting nuclear ability, it should be
looked after," he told foreign journalists.
Bodinger said the U.S. was doing too little to prevent
Israel's neighbors and enemies from acquiring nuclear weapons. He
defended Israel's decision to stop U.S. investigators from
questioning a former air force brigadier-general at the center of
a multimillion-dollar fraud involving U.S. weapons sales to Israel.
(Robert Mahoney, Reuter)
BUSH IMPOSES DUTIES ON IMPORTS FROM SYRIA
President Bush on Monday suspended Syria's right to duty-free
imports into the U.S. Bush, in a notice to Congress, said he took
the step because Syria has not taken steps "to afford
internationally recognized worker rights."
He suspended its participation in a program for developing
countries that allows duty-free access to U.S. markets under the
so-called Generalized System of Preferences. As a result of Bush's
action, Syrian businesses will no longer be able to ship goods to
this country under an arrangement that last year admitted $13.7
billion worth of imports duty-free, or at special low duties. (AP)

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Dear Jay:
Thank you for your good letter regarding race
relations. I appreciate the time that you took
to share your perspective on this issue with me.
Like you and so many Americans, I am deeply concerned
about the social problems that citizens who are living
in our urban areas face, as well as the unrest that
triggered those troubling events in Los Angeles and
elsewhere. You're right: we need to do a better job
as a country in building bonds between individuals.
America needs to recapture the same sense of unity --
or teamwork -- that you witness daily as a college
football coach.
We have made dramatic progress. The Civil Rights Act
of 1991, for example, will help to eliminate the blight
of racism from the workplace. Yet, much remains to
be done to alleviate the tensions of which you wrote.
Government can assist in some areas; in other areas,
it falls upon the community, the family, and the
individual to make a difference.
After more than two decades and trillions of dollars
spent on social welfare, the time to change funda-
mentally our approach toward helping people has clearly
arrived. Federal spending alone will not solve these
problems. I think you will agree that it would not
serve the people of South Central Los Angeles well
if we were to restore the burned-out buildings while
neglecting the ability of citizens there to build
businesses and better lives for themselves and their
families. We need to create the opportunities that
provide hope for a brighter future.
2
For this reason, I have asked Congress to act
promptly on our six-point package of urban initiatives
to empower individuals and to enhance commercial
development, homeownership, drug eradication, and
welfare reform. Hopefully, the Democratic leadership
in Congress will put partisan politics aside long
enough to help me enact these and other constructive
measures and, thus, help the Nation.
Meanwhile, you can be sure that I will continue to lead
the fight for the values that we share. In these and
other efforts, I am heartened to know that I can count
on your steadfast support.
Good luck to you in the upcoming football season.
Also, please give my best to your father.
Sincerely,
Co Bl

Dear Mr. President:
I am writing is to ask you to use your position of President to do what you
can do to help heal the racial wounds that divide our great country.
As the recent events in Los Angeles and various other cities across
America indicate, there is a great divide in this country. I have been aware of
the problem for a number of years and have tried to do what I can in order to
educate those around me to the problem.
What I have found from most of white America is a deaf ear. I myself am
white and it gives me great pain to be lumped into a group that has
perpetuated the racial divisions in America.
I, like my father am a college football coach. In fact I was fortunate enough
to meet you in your hotel room in New Orleans at the 1988 National
Convention after my father had made a speech seconding your nomination.
One of the things that has attracted me to coaching is the fact that young
men black and white work together towards a common goal and in so doing
they erase the lines that would normally divide them.
The other thing I see at this level are young black men who get a chance to
go to college and get a degree. Many of them have gone on to become leaders
in society.
I am tired of the racial tensions that are holding America back from
reaching it's full potential. I hope for a day when we can all work together
and all share in the full blossoming of the dreams that our forefathers had for
this new nation so many years ago.
I can offer you no bold new plan, only my support as you set out on this
rough but needed course.
I thank you for your time and I'll be voting for you in November.
Sincerely,
Jay Pater

Dear Mr. President:
As Republican Members of New Jersey's Congressional delegation, we
are writing today in regard to the disproportionate share Medicaid
payments claimed by the State of New Jersey. We are pleased to see that
your Administration shares our concern, that. this issue be resolved as
fairly, equitably and quickly as possible.
As you know, New Jersey's application for $412 million in
reimbursement for retroactive matching funds, current and future years'
disproportionate share payments, remains under consideration. As you are
well aware, New Jersey's Legislature must approve a balanced state. budget
by July 1, 1992.
Unfortunately, the misinformation and misunderstandings surrounding
this issue have already resulted in chaos in Trenton. Perhaps most
alarming, the firm of Standard & Poor has already placed New Jersey's
bond rating on a credit watch, threatening the State's AA+ bond rating.
As you are no doubt aware, the rejection of these monies would
wreak fiscal havoc on New Jersey.
Having reviewed the application of the State, and the State Plan
Amendments submitted in September, 1988, and modified in November, 1991,
it is clear that every consideration must be given to New Jersey's
reimbursement request before arriving at any final disposition.
We are informed that representatives of New Jersey's Governor and
the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) will meet on June 10,
1992, to consider the merits of the State's $412 million claim. We urge
that you focus your personal attention to this matter, and make every
possible effort to resolve this matter quickly.
So that the State Legislature may fulfill its legal obligation to
produce a balanced budget, it is of paramount concern to us that New
Jersey receive a firm commitment that it will be reimbursed the monies
paid to disproportionate share psychiatric hospitals in good faith, and
in substantive compliance with Congressional mandates.

Dear Mr. President:
I have reviewed the June 4, 1992, letter of your Chief of Staff,
Samuel Skinner, to Speaker of the New Jersey Assembly Garabed "Chuck"
Haytaian, in regard to the disproportionate share Medicaid payments
claimed by the State of New Jersey. I am pleased to see that your
Administration shares my concern, that this issue be resolved as fairly,
equitably and quickly as possible.
As you have observed, and contrary to media reports and the report
of New Jersey State Treasurer Samuel Crane, New Jersey's application for
$412 million in reimbursement for retroactive matching funds, current and
future years' disproportionate share payments remains under
consideration. As you are well aware, New Jersey's Legislature must
approve a balanced state budget by July 1, 1992.
Unfortunately, the misinformation and misunderstandings surrounding
this issue have already resulted in chaos in Trenton. Perhaps most
alarming, the firm of Standard & Poor has already placed New Jersey's
bond rating on a credit watch, threatening the State's AA+ bond rating.
As you are no doubt aware, the rejection of these monies would
wreak fiscal havoc on New Jersey.
Having reviewed the application of the State, and the State Plan
Amendments submitted in September, 1988, and modified in November, 1991,
it does appear that the State is in substantive compliance with the
intent of Congress, as expressed in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1987 (P.L. 100-203), and the Medicaid Voluntary Contribution and
Provider Specific Tax Amendments of 1991 (P.L. 102-234).
Furthermore, both HCFA and New Jersey have been engaged in continued
negotiations, and I am informed that HCFA acknowledges New Jersey's
November 22, 1991, submission as modification of the State's SPA 88-29.
As the rate of payment to county and state hospitals under the modified
SPAs (88-29A, B, C, and D) has not changed, the conclusion of HCFA Region
II Acting Administrator Saperstein that federal payment may be denied
under the public notice requirements in 42 CFR 447.205 ("proposed
significant change") would appear to be an incorrect interpretation.
The Honorable George Bush
June 5, 1992

It is my understanding that representatives of New Jersey's Governor
and the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) will meet on June 10,
1992, to consider the merits of the State's $412 million claim. I would
urge that you continue to focus your personal attention to this matter,
and make every possible effort to resolve this matter before the end of
New Jersey's fiscal year.
It is of utmost concern to me that New Jersey be reimbursed the
monies it put forward to disproportionate share psychiatric hospitals in
good faith, and in substantive compliance with Congressional mandates. I
cannot understate the damage to the State's budget and economy of denial
of these funds. I would urge, in the strongest terms possible, that
neither bureaucratic technicalities nor procedural administrative delay
be allowed to interfere with this approval.
I thank you again for your timely consideration of this matter. If
I may be of any personal assistance to you, I trust you will not hesitate
to call on me directly.

REVISED
ARRIVAL STATEMENT -- PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN OF RUSSIA
SOUTH LAWN \ JUNE 16, 1992 \ 10:00 A.M.
MR. PRESIDENT, MRS. YELTSIN, DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS
OF THE RUSSIAN DELEGATION -- WELCOME TO THE UNITED
STATES. AND OF COURSE, ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE COME HERE
TO MARK THIS HISTORIC MOMENT: WELCOME TO THE WHITE
HOUSE. //
MR. PRESIDENT, TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW
ERA -- A NEW KIND OF SUMMIT: NOT A MEETING BETWEEN TWO
POWERS STRUGGLING FOR GLOBAL SUPREMACY -- BUT BETWEEN
TWO PARTNERS, STRIVING TO BUILD A DEMOCRATIC PEACE. //
- 2 -
FROM THIS SUMMIT WE SEE A NEW HORIZON: A NEW WORLD
OF PEACE AND HOPE, A NEW WORLD OF COOPERATION AND
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
OUR HOPE IS THAT THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL END FOREVER THE
OLD ANTAGONISMS THAT KEPT OUR PEOPLE APART -- THAT KEPT
THE WORLD IN CONFRONTATION AND IN CONFLICT. //
MR. PRESIDENT, YOUR NATION IS EMBARKED ON A GREAT
EXPERIMENT -- A NEW RUSSIAN REVOLUTION -- WITH FREEDOM
AS ITS GOAL.
37
- 3 -
THE PROGRESS RUSSIA HAS MADE, AND THE PROMISE OF MORE
TO COME, OWES MUCH TO THE COURAGE AND VISION OF
PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN. MR. PRESIDENT, LIKE PETER THE
GREAT, YOU ARE REDEFINING RUSSIA'S UNDERSTANDING OF
ITSELF -- REDEFINING RUSSIA'S ROLE IN THE WORLD. BUT,
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MODERN RUSSIAN HISTORY, A LEADER
CLAIMS AS HIS AUTHORITY NOT THE DISPENSATION OF HISTORY
-- BUT A DEMOCRATIC MANDATE. //
-
- 4 -
ALREADY, MR. PRESIDENT, WE ARE TOGETHER
TRANSFORMING OUR RELATIONS -- WITH BENEFITS NOT SIMPLY
TO OUR TWO NATIONS, BUT TO THE WORLD.
TODAY, THE THREAT OF A CATACLYSMIC CONVENTIONAL WAR
HAS VANISHED WITH THE WARSAW PACT AND THE RISE OF
DEMOCRACY IN RUSSIA. TODAY, THE THREAT OF A NUCLEAR
NIGHTMARE IS MORE DISTANT NOW THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE
THE DAWN OF THE NUCLEAR AGE. 11
- 5 -
MR. PRESIDENT, I SAY THIS WITH A SENSE OF PRIDE, A
SENSE OF AWE -- AND ABOVE ALL, A SENSE OF HISTORY:
THERE IS NO GREATER GIFT TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, TO
THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA -- TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD
-- THAN AN END TO THE AWFUL SPECTER OF GLOBAL WAR.
THINK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS: NOT FOR
PRESIDENTS, NOT FOR HEADS OF STATE OR HISTORIANS -- BUT
FOR PARENTS, AND FOR THEIR CHILDREN. IT MEANS A FUTURE
FREE FROM FEAR. //
- 6 -
THIS FIRST U.S.-RUSSIA SUMMIT GIVES US A CHANCE TO
LAY THE FOUNDATION OF A MORE PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS
FUTURE FOR ALL OUR CITIZENS. WE WILL DISCUSS RUSSIA'S
HISTORIC TRANSITION TO THE FREE MARKET -- ITS

BUSH DOESN'T SEE HOUSE
DECIDING PRESIDENTIAL RACE
President Bush said Monday he doesn't think the three-way
presidential race will end up in the House. But he told a TV
interviewer "don't press me" on how Ross Perot will fare.
And, while asserting that he wanted the interview to focus on
international affairs rather than domestic politics, Bush made an
extraordinary election-year appeal for his own re-election. He
said he liked to "finish what I start out to do whether in my
business experience
or being President of the United States.'
Bush refused to answer specific questions about Perot. Asked
if he thought the election might end up in the House, Bush
answered, "Nope." But when CNN's Frank Sesno asked Bush if that
meant he believed Perot would fizzle, Bush retorted: "You can
interpret it any way you want. But don't press me."
(Tom Raum, AP)
Bush Confident Of Avoiding Deadlocked Election
President Bush Monday scoffed at the possibility of a
deadlocked presidential race, but said there was a chance "in a
crazy year like this" that his Republican Party would win control
of Congress from the Democrats.
In a wide-ranging interview shown live on CNN, Bush also said
he might try some unorthodox campaign communication tactics in his
bid for re-election. Asked if he would go on popular TV talk shows
and take questions from viewers like Bill Clinton and Ross Perot,
Bush replied that he might.
Bush said he was optimistic voters would conclude that he
deserved a second four-year term because of his experience and his
willingness "to make decisions that might not be popular or might
draw the fire of the editorialist or
the network man."
Since the Democratic Party has lopsided majorities in both
houses of Congress, most political experts believe it would be
virtually impossible for Bush's fellow Republicans to win control
of Congress. Asked if the experts could be wrong, Bush replied:
"Sure, in a crazy year like this, absolutely."
(Gene Gibbons, Reuter)
Bush Says Election Won't Land In House
President Bush said Monday this is a "crazy year" in politics,
but he does not expect the presidential election to be decided in
the House.
The President cited the end of the Cold War and the fall of
communism and the lessening of nuclear-war fears as major
achievements of the Reagan-Bush years. He also cited his programs
that have been blocked by a Democrat-controlled Congress.
As for handing out an 800 telephone number so that people can
call him at the White House, Bush said, "I'm not going to do that.
I hope I'm not going to turn the White House into an 800 line."

Bush And Clinton Take To Noncombative Milieu
The questions were friendly and the formats ran as long as two
hours, but both President Bush and Bill Clinton appeared satisfied
Monday by their efforts to reach voters by appearing on established
television news programs.
Neither candidate's appearance appeared to break much new
ground. Bush continued to dodge questions about Ross Perot's
likely bid for the presidency, but he did express doubt that the
fall election would be thrown into the House.
The White House said later that the President's response
indicates he believes he will receive the required 270 electoral
votes as a result of the Nov. 8 election. The White House said
Bush's appearance was another in a series of responses to news
media requests for interviews.

Bush Rails Against TV News
President Bush made his fist 1992 campaign foray into TV talk
shows Monday, challenging a symbol he called "The Networkman" as
he followed the lead of Bill Clinton and Ross Perot in arguing
personally to voters.
"Who has the experience to lead this country, to make
decisions that might not be popular or might draw the fire of the
editorialists or that first guy on the evening news, "The
Networkman?" Bush said on CNN.
His comment seemed to refer to CBS' Dan Rather more than to
Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw.

VOTERS DESPERATE FOR FRESH FACE
IN WHITE HOUSE -- POLL
Voters are desperate for fresh faces in Washington, backing
a strong leader in the White House even if that person lacked
experience and would ignore Congress and the courts to get things
done, pollsters reported Monday.
Their latest Times/Mirror poll found 36% of the electorate
backed Perot to 31% for President Bush and 27% for Clinton. But
a separate sounding pitting Bush and Clinton against Norman
Schwarzkopf found Schwarzkopf winning nearly as much of the vote
as Perot without even trying. The poll gave Schwarzkopf 29% of the
vote to 35% for Bush and 27% for Clinton.
The poll found that 63% of Americans think the country needs
a strong leader who would try to solve the nation's problems
without worrying about how Congress and the Supreme Court would
react.

VICE PRESIDENT SAYS PEROT
COULD BE BUSH'S MAIN CHALLENGER
NEW YORK -- Vice President Quayle ridiculed Democratic leaders
on Monday as advocates of a liberal ideology that has failed to
solve urban problems and said Ross Perot could be President Bush's
main opponent in November.
If that happens, he said, "Throw away the strategy books.
This is unprecedented. This is highly unusual
It will be a
wild and probably free-swinging campaign."
Quayle, addressing a sympathetic luncheon audience of the
Manhattan Institute, also held up New York as an example of
Democratic failure. He called Gov. Cuomo "liberalism's sensitive
philosopher-king" who could be counted on for "a touching oration
on compassion" at the Democratic National Convention
Asked why people continue to watch T.V. sitcoms that allegedly
mock traditional family values, Quayle replied that "People ought
to think about it
and corporations and businesses ought to think
about what they're sponsoring. At a brief news conference later,
Quayle said he was not suggesting that corporate sponsors should
try to control or dictate the content of programs such as "Murphy
Brown."

Quayle Attacks New York As Home Of Liberal Failure
A month before the Democratic Party arrives in New York for
its national convention, Vice President Quayle returned here Monday
to lambaste the party's liberal leaders, warning, "We must not let
them do to the rest of America what they have done to the people
of New York City."
Attacking policies ranging from condom distribution in schools
to high local taxes to rent control, and politicians like Mario
Cuomo, the Vice President used a speech to the Manhattan Institute
to paint New York anew as the epitome of liberalism's failures.
Cuomo challenged Quayle to a game of one-on-one basketball.
"If you really want to come and make a fool of yourself, bring your
jock and a pair of sneakers and let's play ball," Cuomo said.

investment in a way that our existing schools don't," Alexander
told the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

JAPANESE COMPANY
SUES BUSH BROTHER
NEW YORK -- A Tokyo investment company linked to the Japanese
underworld has filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against Prescott Bush,
Jr., over an investment that he helped arrange in an American firm
that collapsed last year.
The lawsuit, by West Tsusho Co., was filed in federal court
here on May 8 but attracted public attention only
Monday, when a judge ordered Bush to respond by June 25.
The suit involves Prescott Bush's role as a member of the
senior advisory board of Asset Management, International Financing
& Settlement Ltd., or AMIFS.
According to the complaint by West Tsusho, Bush reneged on a
promise he allegedly made in the summer of 1989 to protect West
Tsusho against part of the risk that it might lose money when it
invested $5 million in AMIFS at that time.

SBA'S HELP TO MINORITY FIRMS HIT
The SBA has been "bureaucratically strangling minority
businesses" and should be stripped of its programs dealing with
such firms, according to a report by a commission charged by
Congress with assessing federal minority business development
programs.
"After 23 years, it is time for a structural change at SBA,"
said Joshua Smith, a Prince George's County business executive who
is chairman of the federal Commission on Minority Business
Development. "The process has become more powerful than the
product -- that is, the minority companies."
Smith said the commission's recommendation with the most
"guts" calls for the creation of a new agency responsible for
helping minority-owned firms. The agency would operate within the
Department of Commerce. (Michelle Singletary, Washington Post, C1)

YELTSIN ARRIVES FOR SUMMIT WITH BUSH
Russian President Boris Yeltsin arrived here Monday night for
a two-day J.S.-Russian summit meeting that, both sides declared,
would underscore the demise of the Cold War and the emergence of
a new partnership between the former foes.
In an airborne interview with NBC News, Yeltsin said Soviet
archives show that some U.S. prisoners from the Vietnam War were
transferred to the Soviet Union and kept in labor camps. He said
he "can only surmise" that some may still be alive.
President Bush conceded in a CNN interview that "we have some
differences," referring to the still-unfinished arms negotiations,
but added that both he and Yeltsin believe this is "a good time to
take another step" toward reducing the awesome stocks of nuclear
weapons piled up during the years of mutual fear and antagonism.
Secretary Baker told reporters that four or five areas of
difference -- including at least two "extraordinarily difficult
problems" -- stand in the way of full agreement on nuclear weapons
cuts that would go well beyond those called for under START. Baker
declined to elaborate but expressed hope that meetings here,
starting with a session he held at the State Department with
Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev, would resolve the
remaining issues.
Both Bush and Baker issued last-minute appeals to Congress to
promptly pass an aid bill for the states of the former Soviet
Union. Sen. Mitchell remained noncommittal on the timing of Senate
action. He said he is canvassing Democrats on the issue and has
asked Sen. Dole for an account of GOP stands. A Senate Republican
aide said Dole determined last week that at least half of the
body's Republican members would vote for the aid bill.

Bush Greets Summit Guest 'As A Friend'
Boris Yeltsin arrived Monday to meet President Bush at his
first formal nuclear summit, an event robbed of drama by Moscow's
loss of world prestige and superpower status. "He comes as a
friend, not an adversary," Bush said.
In an interview with CNN, Bush defended the planned outcome
of arms control talks -- leaving the U.S. better armed than Russia
-- on grounds of the greater U.S. responsibility to maintain world
peace.
Despite top-level U.S. denials, the Russians may find their
search for $24 billion in the West irrevocably linked to surrender
on contentious nuclear arms control issues that were still being
argued Monday night.

Yeltsin: U.S. POWs Taken To U.S.S.R.
Boris Yeltsin said Monday that U.S. prisoners from the Vietnam
War were transferred to the Soviet Union and kept in labor camps -
and some of them may still be alive.
Monday night, the Pentagon said it still has no knowledge that
American POWs from the Vietnam era were transferred to the Soviet
Union and kept in labor camps, despite Yeltsin's confirmation.
Also Monday, a Russian military historian said a "small
portion" of 59 American pilots captured by the North Koreans during
the Korean War were incorporated into the KGB as agents.
Russian authorities received a letter several days ago from
someone in the Ural Mountains who said "there was an American
there, Gen. Volkogonov said. The government is working "very
diligently" to find out if the man is a missing American
serviceman, he said.

FINALLY, YELTSIN SHOWN RESPECT
BY BUSH, PRESS
Boris Yeltsin was met at Andrews Air Force Base Monday with
all the pomp befitting a man who stared down a hardline coup,
outlawed the Communist Party and chased Mikhail Gorbachev from
power.
The greeting stood in stark contrast to the welcome Yeltsin
received in Washington less than three years ago, when his upstart
challenge to Gorbachev evoked fear and uncertainty in the Bush
Administration.
Yeltsin first visited Washington in September 1989 to find
himself enormously distrusted by an Administration that had banked
on Gorbachev as the man who would usher in a decade of Soviet
reform.
Now the Bush Administration looks to Yeltsin as the man who,
in the words of Robert Gates, "comes as close to being
indispensable as anyone can imagine" for the success of Russian
reforms.

CLINTON SECURES YELTSIN MEETING;
BUSH SAYS IT'S OK
Bill Clinton will meet with Boris Yeltsin -- on President
Bush's turf -- this week in what campaign officials hope will be
a boost for Clinton's campaign.
The Clinton campaign anticipates the kind of news videotape
footage that money can't buy: Clinton emerging from Blair House
after meeting with Yeltsin.
Campaign staffers said a Yeltsin meeting would raise Clinton's
profile on foreign policy, one of his campaign's weakest points.
At the same time, they said, the meeting is another jab at Bush.
They boasted Monday that their coup in setting up the meeting "puts
us on somewhat of an equal footing" with Bush.
Bush confirmed the planned meeting Monday on CNN. Asked by
CNN to react to plans for a Clinton-Yeltsin meeting, Bush said, "I
think it's fine."

YELTSIN NAMES ECONOMIST ACTING PREMIER
MOSCOW -- Boris Yeltsin Monday appointed economics czar Yegor
Gaidar as his acting prime minister, a clear signal of Yeltsin's
commitment to further economic reforms on the eve of his summit
meeting with President Bush.
The appointment of Gaidar, the 36-year-old economist who as
first deputy prime minister has plotted Russia's "shock therapy"
course toward a free market, was described by Yeltsin aides here
as a necessary first step toward making him the permanent prime
minister with day-to-day responsibility for running the country.
Secretary Baker hailed Gaidar's appointment, saying it "sends
the signal that one of the champions of democracy and commitment
to a free market economy is still very much a player" in the
government. "My sense is that President Yeltsin and his team are
still very much committed to the reform effort," Baker said.

Yeltsin Tilts Back To Free Market On Eve of Summit
MOSCOW -- Boris Yeltsin issued a batch of economic reforms
before flying to Washington on Monday in an apparent effort to
signal his U.S. hosts and political foes at home that Russia will
stick with its painful market changes.
Hours before his departure, Yeltsin issued decrees to lower
export duties and make them payable in rubles; ease taxes on
companies; and pave the way for making the ruble convertible. He
also raised the stature of Yegor Gaidar.
But it was unclear whether Gaidar's promotion, or Yeltsin's
new decrees, would ease doubts that he is backing away from
creating a capitalist economy.

While Russia should comply with the "major elements" of an

YELTSIN BLAMES '79 ANTHRAX

Boris Yeltsin has acknowledged that an epidemic of anthrax in
the Ural Mountains about 12 years ago was caused by military
researchers trying to make a germ weapon, not by natural causes as
previously claimed by senior officials of the former Soviet Union.
Yeltsin's unusual public statement -- an admission that the
Soviet government hid the truth for a long time on an issue of
importance to Washington -- is being taken by U.S. intelligence
analysts as a final vindication of the view they first put forward
in 1980. Their claim was criticized by some U.S. allies and U.S.
experts who said it was based on thin evidence.

WITH END OF COLD WAR, ARMS CONTROL FADES AS GOAL
If Russia and the U.S. reach a long-range nuclear weapons
accord this week as expected, it seems certain that traditional
arms control has come to an end after decades as the dominant issue
of world diplomacy
If President Bush and President Yeltsin do agree upon
unprecedented and radical new reductions at this week's Washington
summit, the two sides are then likely to let the situation
stabilize and resist indefinitely any pressure for quick additional
cuts as they turn their attention to the economic side of their new
relationship
But even as 11th hour negotiations went forward,
there was debate over whether the U.S. should bother. Most arms
control advocates and U.S. officials argue that with all the
political uncertainty in the former Soviet states, the U.S. should
move fast to lock Moscow into the deepest weapons cuts possible
And if 2,000 or 1,000 warheads ever became a serious U.S.-
Russian target, it would bring pressure on France, Britain and
China to join the cuts
Some conservative experts say that while an accord promising
deeper strategic cuts would be welcome, it is not needed because
economic deterioration in the former Soviet Union will make
advanced arms impossible to maintain. They argue that by pouring
so much energy into the last-minute arms deal, Bush is giving short
shrift to the more profound problem of Russia's efforts to make the
transition from a command economy to democratic capitalism.

KIDNAPPING OUTSIDE U.S. IS UPHELD
The U.S. government may kidnap people from foreign countries
to stand trial here, even if the U.S. has an extradition treaty
with the other country, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.
Voting 6 to 3, the court cleared the way for the trial of
Humberto Alvarez-Machain, a Mexican doctor who is accused of
participating in the 1985 kidnap and murder of DEA agent Enrique
Camarena Salazar and his pilot.
Chief Justice Rehnquist, writing for the court, said that
although such kidnappings may be "shocking" and violate
international law, they are not prohibited by the extradition
treaty outlining procedures for obtaining criminal suspects or the
Constitution. "The fact of (Alvarez-Machain's ) forcible abduction
does not therefore prohibit his trial in a court in the U.S. for
violations of the criminal laws of the U.S.," Rehnquist said.
Justice Stevens, in a dissenting opinion joined by Justices
Blackmun and O'Connor, said the "desire for revenge" is "no
justification for disregarding the rule of law that this court has
a duty to uphold."
Attorney General Barr called the ruling "an important victory
in our ongoing efforts against terrorists and narco-traffickers who
operate against the U.S. from overseas."

U.S. MAY WITHDRAW.
NAVAL FORCE OFF JORDAN
AMMAN, Jordan -- The U.S. has proposed a plan for enforcing
U.N. sanctions against Iraq that would result in withdrawing a U.S.
naval armada off the Jordanian coast after a team of U.N. observers
arrives to inspect incoming goods at the seaport of Aqaba and
patrol Jordan's long desert border with Iraq, according to
Jordanian and diplomatic sources.
U.S. officials say implementation of the proposal, known as
"Aqaba Plus," would be likely to curb what they describe as
shipments of contraband across the Jordanian-Iraqi border in
violation of the sanctions.
At the same time, officials and diplomats here said, it could
expedite shipments of supplies permitted under the U.N. embargo,
thereby saving Iraqi and Jordanian importers time and money.
Many Jordanians, however, said they see the plan as an
infringement of their country's sovereignty and the U.S. insistence
on it largely as pressure for a political gesture. The proposal
also could be politically risky for King Hussein, since he would
be allowing foreign inspectors to operate inside Jordan, Jordanian
officials and diplomats said.

ISRAEL AIR CHIEF WARNS
AGAINST NUCLEAR WEAPONS
TEL AVIV -- Israel's air force chief, Maj. Gen. Herzl

nuclear technology in the region.
"If we will have any kind of report that any country in the
region is getting close to getting nuclear ability, it should be
looked after," he told foreign journalists.
Bodinger said the U.S. was doing too little to prevent
Israel's neighbors and enemies from acquiring nuclear weapons. He
defended Israel's decision to stop U.S. investigators from
questioning a former air force brigadier-general at the center of
a multimillion-dollar fraud involving U.S. weapons sales to Israel.

He suspended its participation in a program for developing
countries that allows duty-free access to U.S. markets under the
so-called Generalized System of Preferences. As a result of Bush's
action, Syrian businesses will no longer be able to ship goods to
this country under an arrangement that last year admitted $13.7
billion worth of imports duty-free, or at special low duties. (AP)

countries, including Iraq. The controls also apply to reexports
of American goods from other countries.
"This new step
is part of the international effort to
prevent the further spread of weapons of mass destruction," said
a statement from Joan McEntee, acting undersecretary of commerce
for export administration.
The rules take effect Tuesday, when a complete text will be
published. They will prohibit Americans from knowingly selling,
without an export license, goods and services that would help build
particular weapons in, among others, Iraq, China, India, North
Korea, Pakistan and South Africa.

INDEPENDENT PANAMA AID STUDY SOUGHT
A senior official at AID called Monday for outside
investigators to evaluate the economic impact that $420 million in
U.S. assistance authorized for Panama has had there.
Analysts at GAO have concluded in a draft report that the aid
package, appropriated by Congress after the U.S. invasion in 1989
and meant to jump-start the economy, has had "no significant impact
on the economy." It also says that 70% of the money earmarked to
aid the poor and promote democratic institutions has not yet been
disbursed.
"The allegations are so serious and damaging, so contrary to
what I strongly feel is a well-designed and -managed program," said
James Michel, assistant administrator at AID for the Latin America
and Caribbean bureau. "I want to know if this is right. Can we
be so wrong? If it's so, get rid of us all."
Michel said in an interview Monday the money did help build
the business confidence necessary to avert a banking crisis and
better Panama's standing among international financial
institutions.

U.S. RETURNS DESTITUTE HAITIAN FAMILY
THAT SOUGHT SCHOOLS ON ITS SHORES
PORT-AU-PRINCE -- Sony Clairmont crouches in the meager shade
of a parked bus to tell his story. The youngest of his six
children -- a feverish, angel-faced 2-year-old named Jessica --
drapes her arm around his neck. She is a large part of the reason
he tried to leave Haiti.
Clairmont and his family did not get far. In a small wooden
boat captained by Clairmont and crammed with 27 other Haitians,
they set off last month, spent three days floundering in the
Windward Passage and were picked up by the U.S. Coast Guard. The
Americans delivered the Clairmont family to the tent city at the
U.S. Navy Base at Guantanamo, where they spent nearly a month.
Their application for U.S. political asylum was denied,
Clairmont said, on the basis of a five-minute conversation with an
immigration official at Guantanamo.

U.S.-RUSSIA SUMMIT
NBC's Jane Pauley: The President of the U.S. and the first non-
Communist leader of Russia since the days of the Czar meet in
Washington tomorrow. High on Boris Yeltsin's agenda: arms control
and Western aid. But domestic political headaches also have both
men keeping one eye on matters close to home.
NBC's John Cochran: George Bush and Boris Yeltsin can help each
other, but it won't be easy. Yeltsin came to Washington frustrated
that Congress has not yet approved the American part of a $24
billion international aid package for Russia. Bush is frustrated
too because he staked some political capital on Russian aid, so far
with no results.
(TV coverage of President and guest in Oval.)
(Sen. Dodd: "The President is able to come up the with the
resources when it involves international investments. And yet here
is a president that won't even meet with the American mayors of
this country to talk about investments here.")
(Rep. Traficant: "President Bush wants to give Boris Yeltsin $12
billion. I think it's time for Congress to tell the President to
shove that $12 billion up his deficit.")
Actually, Bush is asking Congress for $4.5 billion in direct aid.
(TV coverage of President meeting with congressional leaders in
Cabinet room.)
But some critics say he isn't asking very loudly because foreign
aid is a vote loser in an election year -- a charge Bush denied on
CNN.
(President Bush: "I have met with members of Congress, and they
should not hide behind the ruse that I need to do more.")
Yeltsin can help the case for aid by agreeing to large cuts in
Russia's land-based missiles without insisting on deeper cuts in
American submarine-launched missiles.
(TV coverage of Presidents Bush and Yeltsin outdoors and coverage
of President Bush and Chancellor Kohl in the East Room.)
An arms deal would also enhance Bush's image as a President who,
whatever one thinks of his domestic policies, knows foreign affairs
cold. Bush's own aides said voters cared more about foreign policy
than polls suggest. And he thinks his experience will pay off in
November.
(President Bush, CNN: "Who has the experience to lead this
country, to make decisions that might not be popular or might draw
the fire of the editorialists or that first guy on the evening news
-- the network man?")
Although Bush initially disliked Yeltsin, he now says he is a big
fan of the volatile Russian. But Yeltsin will have to be on his
best behavior here to protect not only his own credibility but
George Bush's as well.

White House News Summary
Tuesday, June 16, 1992 -- B-2
Pauley says NBC's Stone Phillips spoke with Yeltsin on the plane
from Moscow.
Phillips says Yeltsin's made it clear that threats from right-wing
military leaders in his country will not stop him from negotiating
a new strategic arms agreement. But his most intriguing revelation
came when I asked him about another legacy of the Cold War.
(Phillips: "There have been many rumors for years in the U.S. that
American POWs from the Vietnam War were transferred from Vietnam
to the Soviet Union. Do you know that to have been true? If so,
are any of those men still living?")
(Yeltsin: "Our archives have shown that it is true. Some of them
were transferred to the territory of the former U.S.S.R. and were
kept in labor camps. We don't have complete data and can only
surmise that some of them may still be alive.")
A source at the Defense Intelligence Agency tells NBC News tonight
that if indeed Boris Yeltsin's said that, it would be a bolt from
the blue -- that nothing like that has come from that side, nothing
at all. That kind of openness on issues as sensitive as the POWs
should play well in the U.S.
(NBC-Lead)
CBS's Dan Rather report President Bush praised Russian President
Yeltsin in a CNN interview today, calling Yeltsin a courageous
leader. Yeltsin arrived today for his White House summit starting
tomorrow.
(ABC-15, CBS-6)
SUPREME COURT RULING
ABC's Peter Jennings: We're going to begin tonight with what has
turned out to be the very long arm of the law. The Supreme Court
has ruled today that the U.S. may reach out and grab criminal
suspects anywhere in the world even if international law says
otherwise. The case involves a Mexican doctor [Dr. Humberto
Alvarez-Machain] who was kidnapped in Mexico two years ago and
hustled back to the U.S. to face charges in the murder of U.S.
narcotics agent Enrique Camarena. Even the chief justice called
the kidnapping shocking, but he said the Bush Administration was
within its right to do it.
ABC's Tim O'Brien reports Mexico argued the kidnapping violated an
elaborate extradition treaty with the U.S. governing the arrest and
transfer of fugitives. But today Chief Justice Rehnquist, writing
for the Supreme Court said, "The treaty says nothing about
obligations to refrain from forcible abduction." Rehnquist
conceded the abduction may be shocking and even a violation of
general principles of international law, but said, without specific
treaty language prohibiting kidnapping, it's a matter for the
Executive Branch, not the court.
(Robert Muller, Assistant Attorney General: "The decision today
affirms a principle that's been in effect since the 1800s. And the
policies of the U.S. have not changed.")
The dissenting justices didn't mince words. Stevens was joined by
Blackmum and O'Connor: "Most courts throughout the civilized world
will be deeply disturbed by the monstrous decision the court
announces today." Other critics warned the ruling cuts both ways.
White House News Summary
Tuesday, June 16, 1992 -- B-3
(Michael Posner, Lawyers Committee For Human Rights: "How are we
going to feel when a New York businessman or a college student in
California is abducted by a foreign government because they're
wanted for a crime?")
This country has extradition treaties with more than 100 countries,
and not one of them specifically prohibits kidnapping. Justice
Department officials, acknowledging that such tactics could be
politically damaging, said today they would only be used in "unique
circumstances."
(ABC-Lead)
Rather: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the U.S. government does
have the right to kidnap criminal suspects abroad, including
Mexico, and bring them to the U.S. for trial even without a foreign
country's permission.
CBS's Rita Braver reports Alvarez-Machain's lawyers said the case
could set a dangerous precedent.
(Paul Hoffman, lawyer for Alvarez-Machain: "It's an invitation to
lawless conduct by U.S. government officials, and it is also an
invitation to foreign officials to kidnap Americans from our own
territory.")
(NBC-5, CBS-Lead)
POLITICS AND RELIGION
Pauley reports Vice President Quayle met with Cardinal O'Connor in
New York city. Among the topics discussed: abortion. It's no
accident the Vice President is mixing religion and politics this
election year. It is a powerful combination in presidential
politics.
NBC's Jim Cummins says these are people who may cast the deciding
votes in a three-man race for president -- Evangelical Christians.
In 1988 they energized the campaign of Pat Robertson. After he
dropped out they overwhelmingly supported George Bush.
(TV coverage of President Bush praying with a group of Evangelical
Christians.)
There are growing signs that Ross Perot is splitting the
Evangelical Christian vote. Recently, Robertson [on the "700
Club"] asked viewers to call in and say who they support. Half
said Bush [50%], 47% said Perot, and 3% said Clinton.
(Pat Robertson: "The significance of that is that in 1988 then-
Vice President Bush got 83% of what is known as the Evangelical
vote.")
That's why Dan Quayle is bashing Murphy Brown and the so-called
media elite now.
(Quayle, last week: "I wear their scorn as a badge of honor.")
That plays well in the heat of the moment at a Southern Baptist
convention, but polls indicate many of these people have ambivalent
feelings about the Bush Administration. In Dallas, John Clemens
and Kirby Anderson say the Evangelicals who call their network
radio talk show are truly uninspired about this election.
(Anderson: "If they decide to stay home, if they decide to go
fishing, if they decide not to be involved, then I don't think that
George Bush is going to have the same kind of constituency that
elected first Ronald Reagan and then elected him.")
Since the President takes the toughest stand against abortion, he's
more likely to get the support of these people.
White House News Summary
Tuesday, June 16, 1992 -- B-4
(TV coverage of President Bush on stage and waving to crowd.)
But he has to turn that support into votes to win a three-man
race.
(NBC-2)
CLINTON ON QUAYLE
Rather reports Bill Clinton fired back today at some shots from
Vice President Quayle, and Clinton stuck by his criticism of à rap
music singer who allegedly made racist remarks, including allegedly
talking about the desirability of killing white people.
CBS's Bill Plante says Republicans don't even acknowledge that
Clinton is a real opponent.
(Quayle: "Someone asked me the other day, 'What do you think of
this third candidate out there?' I said, 'I don't think much of
Bill Clinton.'"
Clinton, the but of Quayle's jabs about elitism, is happy to return
the compliment.
(Clinton: "He's had a trust fund all his life. I've worked my way
through college and law school, and here's this guy telling us that
we're in the cultural elite. I mean, that's ridiculous.") (CBS-9)
INTERNATIONAL ARMS SALES
Pauley reports the U.S. Commerce Department today announced new
restrictions on the sale of missile technology to individual
nations, including the Middle East and China.
NBC's Martin Fletcher says the arms race is speeding up in the
Middle East, and tonight the head of Israel's Air Force warned if
negotiations fail, Israel may consider an attack against Arab
nuclear plants. One of the chief villains of this race, according
to top military officials here and in Washington, is China. And
where China ends, North Korea begins. After promising the U.S. to
comply with missile restrictions to the Mideast, weapons experts
say China is simply using North Korea as a front man. Secretary
Baker says that's news to him.
(Baker, White House briefing room: "I've not heard the suggestion
made that North Korea is acting as a proxy for China. There may
be some in this vast government of ours who believe that.")
Israel is especially worried about North Korean extra-long-range
Scud C and D missiles that Syria and Libya are getting. Israel's
Air Force chief sounded the ultimate warning.
(Major Bodinger: "We have to fight back and win the war. If we
lose the war here I think it's the last war we lose. We don't have
another choice.")
Israel would prefer the U.S. solve the problem by stopping the
spread of North Korean and Chinese weapons and technology.
Officials here believe the U.S. is not doing enough.
(NBC-4)
BANKRUPT AMERICANS
Jennings reports there is another sign today about how the economy
has affected people's lives. More Americans have filed for
bankruptcy during the first three months of this year than during
any previous three-month period -- a quarter million filings in
all.

ILLEGAL TOXIC WASTE DUMPING
Pauley reports the EPA estimates that one third of the nation's
largest sewage systems have been lax in enforcing government rules
about toxic waste. The percentage is even higher in industry.
NBC's Robert Hager says an unpublished report by the EPA shows a
shocking number of workplaces dump more than permitted into the
sewers. The EPA report says a spot sampling of companies allowed
to dump in sewers indicated 63% violate limits occasionally by
dumping too much. Thirty-five percent violate limits chronically
or significantly.

EDITORIALS/COLUMNISTS
RIO
Bush's Wasted Opportunity At Rio -- "President Bush's grudging
decision to sign some of the Earth Summit declarations and treaties
is not leadership
Bush's entire conduct around the Earth
Summit has not only tarnished the image of the U.S. as a world
leader, but has insulted the millions of Americans who care about
the environment and act daily to protect it
It
was
an
opportunity lost, and Americans may be paying the price sooner than
they think."
(Boston Globe, 6/12)
Can We 'Balance' A Planet? -- "It's all a question of 'balance,'
says Mr. Bush. In international negotiations at the Earth Summit,
and in crafting policy here at home, the President speaks of
seeking a 'balance' between environmental protection and the
pursuit of profit. The talk is baloney. A healthy environment is
a basic necessity that cannot be 'balanced' against any competing
interest. In a conflict between environment and economy, we can
no more split the difference and call it 'balance' then we can
split a baby
To choose profit, as Mr. Bush advocates, is to
commit the same crime against the future that we have committed in
racking up this monstrous federal deficit, only on a much larger
scale. In both cases, we steal the short-term benefits for
ourselves while sticking our children and grandchildren with the
bill."
(Atlanta Constitution, 6/12)
PANAMA
Anti-U.S. Incident Should Be Kept In Perspective -- "The
embarrassment of having Mr. Bush's outdoor appearance cut short by
demonstrators and tear gas should not be permitted to overshadow
the real issues -- narcotics interdiction and money laundering, the
jump-starting of the Panamanian economy and the environmental
health of the isthmian watershed that is vital to the functioning
of the Panama Canal
Unfortunately, responsible governance and
diplomacy seldom lend themselves to stirring video or crisp sound
bites."
(Dallas Morning News, 6/13)
Perils of The President -- "Mr. Bush's visit to Panama was ill-
planned from the beginning. He of course had good reasons to
celebrate the return of democracy to that country. But he also
should have seized the opportunity to address some of the lingering
problems that the Panamanian people face, such as an extremely high
unemployment rate and a painfully slow recovery process. Instead,
Mr. Bush seemed either unaware of or unconcerned about the Panama
that the 1989 U.S. invasion left behind. For example, he sought
to downplay the protesters by calling them a 'tiny little left-
wing demonstration.' Actually, many were not leftists at all, but
homeless or unemployed victims of the U.S. invasion. Thus the
President missed yet another chance to show wisdom and leadership
at a time when he needed it most -- just before the Rio showdown
and the campaign battles that await him at home."

FOREIGN MEDIA REACTION
RIO
"The overwhelming applause for Fidel after his speech was an
evident slap against Bush, who is becoming more isolated at
UNCED
The U.S. has shown in the climate convention that its
major concern is not the environment, but the nation's economy."
(SBT network, Brazil)
"Bush kept his promise. Placed on the defensive the U.S.
leader transformed the conference's dais into an electoral platform
to please the Republican Party's conservative wing and tried to
transform the isolation of his country in the conference into an
unconvincing demonstration of leadership."
(o Estado de Sao Paulo, Brazil)
"UNCED debates have clearly shown that the U.S. is far from
being able to assume the role of arbiter of the world's
environmental behavior. The isolation of the U.S. at Eco-92
reflects both strength and weakness. The strength of still being
able to say no to international aspirations and the weakness of
being unable to impose its will on the international community
It is not Eco-92 that weakens the U.S. position in a New World
Order but the U.S. position in the UNCED that reflects that
country's internal deterioration." (Folha de Sao Paulo, Brazil)
"From the lofty heights of sole remaining superpower, the U.S.
now threatens to go into free fall from a qualitative new anti-
Americanism. Although it must be noted that the United States'
stubborn stance in Rio must have come in quite handy for some
participants: Many a troublemaker could hide behind Washington's
broad back."
(General-Anzeiger, Germany)
"A decisive aspect is that a new consciousness was raised for
the environment and development in Rio, particularly among the
Third World countries
The Americans did not cut a good figure
in Brazil; they blocked many things. But this should not be blown
out of proportion. There is no doubt that it would have been
better if Bush as the key politician of the sole remaining
superpower had taken the lead. But he is caught up in a difficult
election campaign The Americans have done quite a bit for the
environment in their own country. Now they must help others as
well
But the U.S. cannot isolate itself and fall behind the
other countries when it comes to solving one of the most important
global tasks ever. This would be tantamount to the U.S. losing
stature and influence."
(Frankfurter Allgemeine, Germany)
"Rio will remain an acute failure for U.S. diplomacy.
'Whatever Bush says, the U.S. has ceased to play the role of the
world leader,' a member of a nongovernmental organization said."

"The international community needs a devil: Today it is

effect of the New World Order back in its face
We should thank
Bush for having broken the consensus of false principles that was
being outlined under an environmental pretext in Rio."
(Le Ouotidien, France)
"With a tough speech, George Bush dominated the summit
yesterday
In Rio the world saw a different America from the
one it is used to seeing. An America no longer generous but
stingy. No longer tolerant but abusive
An America whose
leadership, hailed for over half a century of Cold War, may be
fading in the dawn of the New World Order
The negative
judgement of the superpower is also fueled by its refusal, or its
inability, to face domestic problems
The U.S. is not on the
verge of collapse; its potential for renewal is enormous. But its
problems are growing in an unprecedented vacuum of ideas and with
a lack of charismatic leaders -- a situation which has given birth
to the Perot phenomenon."

"It is natural for U.S. leadership, which led the free world
during the Cold War, to weaken under new, changing circumstances.

NATIONAL GOVERNORS' ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEETING / ROOSEVELT ROOM
JUNE 16, 1992 / 2:35 P.M.
- President Yeltsin and I had a good and lengthy
discussion this morning in the Oval Office on a
wide range of issues and I am looking forward to
a continuation of those discussions in the Cabinet
Room as soon as we leave here, with a specific
focus on military and security issues and economic
development.
- 2 -
-- Before I go, I want to reinforce my strong
commitment to flexibility in state-based health care
reform. I appreciate the time you are taking to
discuss Medicaid and other health issues with the
staff and I think we are all moving in the same
direction.
- 3 -
--- As you know, I am disappointed in the
Congressional vote on the Balanced Budget
Amendment. But our bipartisan amendment came
within just a few votes of getting the two-thirds
needed to pass. Action is critical and I will
continue to work for it. The Amer can people want
a balanced budget amendment ar I it is absolutely
essential to the economic health ( our country.
-- I also know that, as Governors, you do not want to
see a balanced budget amendment used by the
Congress as an excuse to pass more unfunded
mandates onto the states. 1 oppose unfunded
mandates and would work with you to prevent that
from occurring.
