REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WITH THE CABINET
The Cabinet Room
10:15 A.M. EDT
Q Mr. President, have you reached agreement with the
Russians on a Bosnia policy?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, Secretary Christopher is talking
to Foreign Minister Kozyrev today, and we will try to reach an
agreement about what we do next. As you know, the United States is
skeptical that we'll be able to satisfactorily resolve this within
the framework that has been proposed, but we do want to work with our
allies and we're trying our best to reach a joint position and I hope
we can do it.
Q Are you still ruling out safe havens?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I don't want to see the United
States get in a position where we are recreating Northern Ireland or
Lebanon or Cyprus or anything else. I wouldn't -- there may be some
potential down the road for something to be done in connection with
the peacekeeping operation, but I think it's something we have to be
very skeptical about. We don't want our people in there basically in
a shooting gallery.
Q the issue, though, for now of the land the Serbs
have grabbed by force in favor of the idea of this containment?
THE PRESIDENT: I will say what I said from the very
beginning. Our fundamental interests here, the United States'
interests, are two. We want the conflict to be contained, and we
want the slaughter and the ethnic cleansing to stop. We believe in
order to get that done ultimately there will have to be some
reasonable borders -- some political solution to this which has a
reasonable territorial component. And we'll just have to see what
happens over the next few weeks.
Q Thank you.
