              STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY


     President Clinton spoke by phone today with Chancellor 
Helmut Kohl of Germany for about 40 minutes.  

     The two leaders discussed a number of bilateral and 
foreign affairs issues.  On the Generalized Agreement for 
Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the two leaders agreed on the need 
for successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round by the end of 
1993, and undertook to remain in contact throughout the 
autumn for that purpose.

     President Clinton and Chancellor Kohl discussed 
developments in the Middle East, both indicating their deep 
satisfaction over the prospects for historic breakthroughs 
in on-going talks.  They reviewed progress in the political 
and economic reform process in Russia, and discussed their 
efforts to assist that process.  They also agreed on the 
need to cooperate on issues related to the former 
Yugoslavia.
