U.S., Britain unite on Bosnia as
Clinton begins European tour
T"* Mi
-DRIEF:
lovem
□ The President stressed the
importance of sending American
troops to Bosnia and credited
Britain with taking risks for peace.
LONDON (AP) — After months of quiet ten
sion, President Clinton and Prime Minister John
Major swapped support Wednesday for the U.S.-
brokered peace treaty in Bosnia and an unexpect
ed breakthrough in Northern Ireland. “This time
is full of possibility,” Clinton said.
Opening a five-day Ruropean trip, Clinton paid
a morning call on the British leader at 10 Downing
Street, won long applause for a rousing speech to
Parliament and with his wife, Hillary, toured
Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth and
FYince Philip.
In honor of the Anglo-American alliance, Clin
ton announced that a new American guided mis
sile frigate would be named the USS Winston
Churchill after Britain’s wartime prime minister.
Stressing the importance of sending 20,000
American troops to Bosnia, Clinton said, “We
know that if we do not participate in Bosnia our
leadership will be questioned and our partnerships
will be weakened.”
Clinton arrived just hours after Major and Irish
Prime Minister John Bruton set aside their differ
ences on disarming the IRA in hopes of opening
peace talks among all parties in Northern Ireland.
Clinton called the accord “a bold step forward
for peace” and said he knew it wasn’t easy for Ma
jor, sagging at record lows in opinion polls. “Very
often, people who take risks for peace are not ap
preciated for doing so,” Clinton said. Political lead
ers on both sides of the dispute in Northern Ire
land criticized the agreement.
Northern Ireland has been a sore point between
Major and Clinton. Major refused for days to re
turn Clinton’s telephone calls after the president
granted a visa to Gerry Adams, head of the IRA-
aligned Sinn Fein party.
Clinton will travel to the Northern Ireland cities
of Belfast and Londonderry Thursday to laud the
p.eace that has held since terrorists ended a quarter-
century of violence 15 months ago. He will be the
first American president to visit the province.
“With every passing month, more people walk the
streets and live their lives safely — people who oth
erwise would have been added to the toll of The
Troubles,’” Clinton said in his Parliament speech.
Outhouse Party tot)

"Very often, people who take risks
for peace are not appreciated for
doing so."
— President Clinton
Congress approves
overhaul of lobbyingli
Britain has been unhappy about Clinton’s poli
cy toward Bosnia, particularly his refusal to join
London and Paris in sending troops to the former
Yugoslavia. European allies resented Washing
ton’s frequent calls for using more force in Bosnia
when Americans weren’t on the ground there.
In a joint news conference with Clinton, Major
pointedly noted that British forces “have been
there now for something over three years, in num
bers ranging up to 8,000 at a time.” He said
Britain would contribute 13,000 troops to enforce
the peace agreement initialed in Dayton, Ohio.
Clinton credited Britain with taking “extraordi
nary risks for peace in Bosnia.”
Major offered arguments to help Clinton sell
Congress and the American public on the need for
sending troops to Bosnia.
“We can look this morning at a realistic
prospect of a real and lasting peace in Bosnia,”
Major said. “But it is still a fragile prospect, and
we need to make sure that it doesn’t in some fash
ion slip away from us.”

“The pattern of media covera;
of NAFTA was to g'o too pci]
with the flow,” she said. ‘T
partly because of the overwkW
ing spin that came out ofWi
Street in favor of NAFTA and
complexity of the subject.”
Most journalists do noth
understand the impact of the:
stories, she said, unless they!
also economics experts.
Dr. Margarita Gangotena,
speech communications profess®
responded to Newman's present!
tion with a theory of whytlf
United States struggles to c
comprehend Mexican issues.
“It is the ability of human be
ings to give preference, uncon
sciously, to what we believe ai
value ... to the roles that we consi
er appropriate,” Gangotena said.
Because people tend to a
tribute positive traits to tho:
who are similar to themselves
she said, Americans are not al
ways fair judges of otherna
tions’ policies and intentions,
“As a nation, the U.S.
had a hard time identifying tb
Mexican sign posts that a cris:
was coming,” she said.
