MOSCOW (AP) — Assert
ing an unshakable friendship
with Russia but offering only
general remedies for its ailing
economy. 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. And it was repre
sented in the turnout that
ranged from Communist
leader Gennady Zyuganov
and Alexander Lebed, the
