President Clinton sought Wednesday to reassert his states- role YELTSIN man by cajoling President Boris Yeltsin and his politi cal foes to find com mon ground on reform. Ending a two-day summit that marked his first venture on the world stage since his acknowledgment of an affair with a young White House in tern, Clinton assured Yeltsin he could count on new offers of economic aid if Russia shows it will complete its free- market reforms. “The answer is to finish the job that has been begun, not to stop it in midstream or to re verse course,” Clinton said at a joint news conference with Yeltsin at the Kremlin. “America and the interna tional community are, I am convinced, ready to offer fur ther assistance if Russia stays with the path of reform,” Clinton said. While speaking bluntly of Moscow’s differences with Washington over NATO and other security issues, Yeltsin said his country was deter mined to “conclude our re forms” and recognized that, in the end, it was up to Russia it self to make the right moves on the economic front. “What we need from the United States is political sup port to the effect that the United States is in favor of re forms in Russia,” Yeltsin said. “This is what we really need, and then all the investors who would like to come to the Russian reformed market will do so, will come with their investments.” Clinton sounded a similar theme in a meeting with some two dozen members of the communist-led Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, and regional leaders at the resi dence of U.S. Ambassador James Collins. Clinton told the meeting, “Russia must have its own approaches that keep the nation strong. ” It was a recognition of the diversity that marks the par liament in Russia’s seventh year of experimenting with democracy.
