THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 12, 1993 Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter of February 10, 1993 regarding the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 and the need to resolve the outstanding questions regarding this tragedy. Let me assure you that my Administration is deeply committed to seeing that justice is served. As I said during the campaign, the sanctions imposed on Libya last year are not enough. The international community must step up the pressure on Libya to surrender the suspects. My Administration is currently assessing how to achieve further sanctions, and we are consulting with our allies, particularly France and Great Britain, on this issue. I also remain committed to the families of the victims of the Pan Am 103 disaster who have been instrumental in keeping this issue on the agenda. I am determined that they be involved as we develop our strategy for achieving Libyan compliance. My National Security Adviser, Anthony Lake, met with representatives of the families on March 25, and I appreciate their unique insights on this issue. Again, thank you for bringing your concern and support to my attention. As we progress with our consultations, I will keep you informed. Sincerely, Trin The Honorable John D. Rockefeller, IV United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 29, 1993 Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter concerning a meeting with the families of the victims of the Pan Am 103 disaster. As you point out in your letter, members of my Administration including Warren Christopher, Janet Reno, Anthony Lake, Madeleine Albright and others have met with them and continue an open dialogue. We purposely have kept them closely informed on our thinking on such key issues as additional Libya sanctions; airport security and the building of a memorial to the victims at Arlington Cemetery. As we approach the August review of sanctions, we will again intensify our efforts at pressuring Libya to comply with the United Nations resolutions. We are committed to seeking additional sanctions, including oil, if necessary. I agree with you that the families bring unique and important continuity and insight to the implementation of a strong anti-terrorism policy. We will continue to maintain close contact with them and I will certainly try to meet with the families. Again, thank you for your views and your continued support.

However, the families have consistently requested a meeting with you. With few exceptions, the families and the Senators requesting the meeting have supported our counterterrorist (CT) policies; lobbying for Libya's compliance with the UN resolutions and fighting for stronger CT measures. They are convinced, as we are, that without additional strong sanctions, preferably oil related, there is little hope of bringing the bombers of PA 103 to justice. We are currently engaged with the U.K. and the French on negotiating solidarity on a resolution for additional sanctions in August. A meeting with the families will send a clear message not only on our resolve in the case of Pan Am 103 but in support of overall counterterrorism policies.

You will recall that you and Sandy met with the families in March before the April UN sanctions review in response to a similar request by these and other legislators and some of the family members. Since then, the Administration has maintained high level contact with the families and we have made progress on their primary concerns, e.g., Libya sanction, airport security and the building of a memorial at Arlington. Although numerous, high level Administration officials have already met with the families, they have consistently asked for a meeting with the President. A publicized positive meeting with the President at this time would underline the President's commitment to strong counterterrorism policies, especially on the eve of the August UN sanctions review. ok ok oh Concurrences by: David Satterfield, Craig Kelly, Alan Kreczko, Donald Gross RECOMMENDATION That you sign the attached Memorandum to the President (Tab I) recommending he sign a letter (Tab A) to the Senators announcing that, time permitting, he would try to meet with the families.

Dear Mr. President: Members of the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 have conveyed to us their interest in meeting with you to discuss the next United Nations review of sanctions against Libya. As you know, these families vigorously support an international oil embargo against Libya. We hope you will agree to meet with the President of the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 and members of this organization. Tony Lake and Madeleine Albright were kind enough to meet with the families prior to the last United Nations review. While the families are deeply grateful for that opportunity, they would appreciate the chance to discuss this issue with you personally. Although 270 innocent people were murdered in the Pan Am 103 terrorist attack, no individual has been brought to justice. Libya still refuses to turn over the Libyan citizens who have been indicted for this heinous terrorist act. Members of the organization Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 lost their loved ones in a senseless act of terrorism. They have tirelessly fought for justice and deserve to be heard. We hope you will accommodate their request. Sincerely, Edward M. Kennedy ThankR.Lanteberg Frank R.

Canas (CANAS) THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary (New York, New York) For Immediate Release September 27, 1993 ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT TO THE 48TH SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY The United Nations New York, New York 11:00 A.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Mr. President, let me first congratulate you on your election as President of this General Assembly. Mr. Secretary General, distinguished delegates and guests, it is a great honor for me to address you and to stand in this great Chamber which symbolizes so much of the 20th century -- its darkest crises and its brightest aspirations. I come before you as the first American President born after the founding of the United Nations. Like most of the people in the world today, I was not even alive during the convulsive World War that convinced humankind of the need for this organization; nor during the San Francisco Conference that led to its birth. Yet I have followed the work of the United Nations throughout my life, with admiration for its accomplishments, with sadness for its failures, and conviction that through common effort our generation can take the bold steps needed to redeem the mission entrusted to the U.N. 48 years ago. I pledge to you that my nation remains committed to helping make the U.N.'s vision a reality. The start of this General Assembly offers us an opportunity to take stock of where we are, as common shareholders in the progress of humankind and in the preservation of our planet. It is clear that we live at a turning point in human history. Immense and promising changes seem to wash over us every day. The Cold War is over. The world is no longer divided into two armed and angry camps. Dozens of new democracies have been born. It is a moment of miracles. We see Nelson Mandela stand side by side with President de Klerk, proclaiming a date for South Africa's first nonracial election. We see Russia's first popularly-elected President, Boris Yeltsin, leading his nation on its bold democratic journey. We have seen decades of deadlock shattered in the Middle East, as the Prime Minister of Israel and the Chairman of are two powerful tendencies working from opposite directions to challenge the authority of nation states everywhere and to undermine the authority of nation states to work together. From beyond nations, economic and technological forces all over the globe are compelling the world towards integration. These forces are fueling a welcome explosion of entrepreneurship and political liberalization. But they also threaten to destroy the insularity and independence of national economies, quickening the pace of change and making many of our people feel more insecure. At the same time, from within nations, the resurgent aspirations of ethnic and religious groups challenge governments on terms that traditional nation states cannot easily accommodate. These twin forces lie at the heart of the challenges not only to our national government, but also to all our international institutions. They require all of us in this room to find new ways to work together more effectively in pursuit of our national interests and to think anew about whether our institutions of international cooperation are adequate to this moment. Thus, as we marvel at this era's promise of new peace, we must also recognize that serious threats remain. Bloody ethnic, religious and civil wars rage from Angola to the Caucasus to Kashmir. As weapons of mass destruction fall into more hands, even small conflicts can threaten to take on murderous proportions. Hunger and disease continue to take a tragic toll, especially among the world's children. The malignant neglect of our global environment threatens our children's health and their very security. The repression of conscience continues in too many nations. And terrorism, which has taken so many innocent lives, assumes a horrifying immediacy for us here when militant fanatics bombed the World Trade Center and planned to attack even this very hall of peace. Let me assure you, whether the fathers of those crimes, or the mass murderers who bombed Pan Am Flight 103, my government is determined to see that such terrorists are brought to justice. (Applause.) As this moment of panoramic change, of vast opportunities and troubling threats, we must all ask ourselves what we can do and what we should do as a community of nations. We must once again dare to dream of what might be, for our dreams may be within our reach. For that to happen, we must all be willing to honestly confront the challenges of the broader world. THat has never been easy. When this organization was founded 48 years ago, the world's nations stood devastated by war or exhausted by its expense. There was little appetite for cooperative efforts among nations. Most people simply wanted to get on with their lives. But a far-sighted generation of leaders from the United States and elsewhere rallied the world. Their efforts built the institutions of nostwar security and Withdrawal/Redaction Marker Clinton Library DOCUMENT NO.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 12, 1993 Dear Elizabeth: I appreciated very much your expressions of gratitude on behalf of the members of the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 for our anti- terrorism policies and efforts. As I stated in New York, terrorism is a matter which my Administration takes very seriously and, in the case of the Pan Am flight 103 disaster, we remain determined to seeing that justice is served. We continue to work hard in pursuit of that goal and to make clear to terrorists that attacking our citizens, families and interests will not occur without dire consequences. As you know, on October 1 we introduced a joint resolution in the United Nations Security Council calling for additional sanctions against Libya for failing to comply with previous resolutions on the Pan Am 103 and the French UTA 722 cases. The Libyans have now offered to help bring the two suspects to trial in Scotland and we are actively testing the sincerity of that offer. We do not yet know whether this offer is genuine, but the United Kingdom, France and the U.S. are prepared to call for a vote on the new resolution by mid-October, or sooner if the Libyan offer is determined to be insincere. As you have pointed out before, decisions in these cases are delicate and complex. For this reason, it is always heartening to hear that our efforts are recognized and appreciated, especially by the families of the victims. I am deeply touched by your comments and will continue to work on behalf of the families and all other victims of such senseless and criminal behavior. Sincerely, Brin Chiten Bin Ms. Elizabeth Philipps President & Board Chairman The Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 [003] (b)(6) THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN 112 7564 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 8, 1993 DT S P1:57 ACTION MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM: ANTHONY LAKE SUBJECT: Letter from the President of the Victims of Pan Am 103 Purpose To respond to a letter of gratitude for your continued support of the victims of terrorism, especially the families of Pan Am 103. Background Elizabeth Philipps is President of The Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, a group which represents the largest number of families. She has written you letters of support in the past. Your reference to bringing the terrorists in the case of Pan Am 103 to justice during the UNGA speech last week in New York, prompted Ms. Philipps' expression of gratitude on behalf of all the families. She also recognizes the support the Administration has given their organization. As you know, we have been keeping them informed of our efforts to bring the Libyan terrorists to trial. In turn, she and her group have been supportive and helpful. RECOMMENDATION That you sign the response at Tab A.

On Monday at the UN when you spoke about the "mass murderers who bombed Pan Am flight 103" and said my government is determined to see that such terrorists are brought to justice," we felt the burden of our fight for justice lessened because it is now openly shared by you and our nation. I have had the pleasuro of thanking you for past expressions of your support for our cause. This is the first time the world community has also been present to hear you. If there were any terrorists who didn't get the message after the missile attack on Baghdad, no onc of them will any longer bc uncertain about how America now will respond when attacked by terrorism. Of course those of us sitting in the visitors' gallery at the UN had to interrupt with applause. We were hard pressed to keep from leaping to our feet and shouting. We believe your message in combination with the possibility of additional sanctions motivated Libya's official statement yesterday that Scotland is an acceptable venue, and the indicted terrorists arc urged to make themselves available for trial there. Certainly He share Douglas Hurd's skepticism that such a trial will actually soon come about. With him, we'll believe it when al-Megrahi and Fhimah step onto the tarmac at Glasgow airport. Thus we continue to urge you and Ambassador Albright not be deterred from US insistence on increased UN sanctions by this hint of forward progress from Colonel Qadaffi. Please also recognize once again, our deep gratitude to Ambassador Albright, Anthony Lake, Richard Canas, Timothy Wirth, and so many other determined people at the UN mission, the State Department and the NSC. Uncounted hours of their hard work, thoughtful argument, and ardent persistence support and surround your words. We heartily thank you for that work as well as for their accessibility to our membership and to the other relatives of the Pan Am tragedy. Our group will hold 1993's fourth general membership meeting at Newark this weekend. We will continue our work of seeking justice and of improving aviation security with a renewed energy and a more optimistic stance in the light and warmth of your encouragement. Yours sincerely, EQaberty Shilips Elizabeth Philipps President & Board Chairman cc: Ambassador Albright THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 3, 1993 Dear Ms. Wolfe: Thank you very much for the invitation to address Families of Pan-Am 103/Lockerbie. Unfortunately, I have a conflict that weekend and will have to regret. But I do want to inform you that the Pan Am 103/Lockerbie matter is an issue to which the President and I are very committed. I have instructed my staff to keep the family representatives informed and involved, especially in our efforts to bring the two Libyan suspects to justice. I know that obtaining United Nations approval for additional sanctions against Libya is taking longer than we had hoped. It remains a complex issue with increased multilateral dimensions and developments which seem to change daily. But we are steadfast in our pursuit and have increased our efforts in New York, Washington and foreign capitals. As the President stated at the UN General Assembly last month, this Administration is committed to the resolution of this case. I believe that the course we have set for ourselves in this matter is the correct one. International condemnation of Libya for their failure to comply with UN resolutions 731 and 748 is virtually unanimous. There may be differences among states about the principle of "sanctions" in general, but none about Libya's belligerence and the considerable weight of the evidence regarding the crime. Our policy on terrorism remains unchanged: we consider the practice of terrorism by any person or group a potential threat to our national security and will resist the use of terrorism by all legal means available. States that practice terrorism or actively support it will not be allowed to do so without consequence. Whenever we have evidence that a state or group is mounting or intends to conduct an act of terrorism against us, we have a responsibility to protect our citizens, property, and interests. I would also add that preventing terrorism directed against Americans or American interests is also a paramount goal. I know that my staff and the State Department's Counterterrorism staff have been providing you details on the progress of the new resolution we have proposed to the UN Security Council along with our partners the British and French. We consider the partnership with the families to be a "force-multiplier" in this effort and in the overall effort against terrorism. 2 I remain hopeful that in the near future I will have the opportunity to meet with your group. Again, thank you for the invitation.

We would like a presentation on the Administration's policy on terrorism and an update on the status of additional UN Security Council sanctions against Libya. We will be having a full agenda from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. addressing foreign policy and Pan Am 103 issues, aviation security implementation, and the status of the civil suit. We would like you to speak at our luncheon or at a time during the meeting convenient to you. We are grateful for your many efforts in our behalf and would consider your presence a special honor.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 27, 1993 Dear Jane: I was moved, as I mentioned at our meeting, at your comments on our efforts to bring the issue of a memorial cairn for victims of Pan Am 103 to the President's attention. I understand the importance of this to the family members of the victims, and I admire your perseverance. As you know, a joint resolution is being drafted by the staffs of Senators Kennedy and Lautenberg. Work yet remains, but with some luck speeding up the bureaucracy, a signed order is possible by the summer. My staff will stay informed on the progress and provide any assistance in moving the resolution to the President as quickly as possible. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Sincerely, Try (.
