 I was born in a very small town in North Dakota, a town of only about 350 people. I lived there until I was 13. It was a marvelous advantage to grow up in a small town where you knew everybody. |
| Despite the demands of this job, one of the things my wife and I try to do is to spend time together alone. And one of the things we really enjoy doing together is seeing a good movie. |
| The monitors indicated that it was a credible election, I think, in an overall sense, it apparently is a free and fair election, so it's a real milestone and one of the things we can take some little confidence in. |
| We have a human rights interest. Then there is the immigration problem. The human-rights violations have caused people to take to boats and flood not only the United States, but other countries in the region, creating great instability. |
| The Palestinian election is something that was really a turning point. It's a mandate for peace. |
| I had all of one nanosecond to savor the news before we had to move on to other problems. |
| The NATO forces will, to the extent that they have capacity, assist the war crimes tribunal. |
| We've worked with President Yeltsin. He is the President of the country. He's been a reformer. We've been able to accomplish a number of things together. |
| Let's see if we can't get this war behind us now. Certainly, the man in the street, the common person there, wants to have this war behind him. I think a lot of the soldiers are very war-weary too. |
| Only two countries in this hemisphere are not democratic, but many countries in both Central and South America, and in the Caribbean, are really fragile democracies. |
| This is a very important relationship we have with Russia, the relationship over the nuclear arsenal that they have obviously is important. They're a very powerful country. |
| I've got many close friends, but there's an awful lot about friendship that is not demonstrative in my case. |
| It's been President Clinton's dream that we'll have finally a fully integrated Europe. |
| I think there is a good deal of promise in those discussions as well. I think there is a range of matters that might be discussed between NATO and Russia that can provide a mechanism for talking through these issues, a way to give reassurance on these issues. |
| I'm very much in favor of focused responsibility, and so in the main areas that I'm worried about, I try to have a single person who is basically the key person in that area. |
| I don't want to talk about intelligence matters. I will say, however, that intelligence-community estimates should not become public in the way of this city and in the way of Congress. |
