THE BATTALION
Clinton speaks of electio
at farewell summit in As
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei (AP) — Pres
ident Clinton, at a farewell summit in Asia, assured world
leaders Wednesday that the United States is stable and
unshaken by the election impasse at home.
“This has been a rather interesting week in the Unit
ed States,” he said.
Clinton was meeting with 20 Pacific Rim leaders
at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) forum. He also
was talking on the sidelines with the
leaders of Russia, China, Japan and
South Korea. Around the world, the
U.S. election dispute, whose outcome
hinges on the vote count in Florida,
has confounded many people.
The president talked lighthearted-
ly about the election as he addressed
business leaders.
‘“One of the things that I think we

have learned is that we should all be very careful about
making predictions about the future,” the president said.
“I know I can safely predict this will be my last APEC
summit. I just don’t know who will be here next year.”
Asked what he would do after leaving the White
House, Clinton noted the election of his wife, Hillary
Rodham Clinton, to the Senate. “Now I have a United
States senator to support. I understand that’s an expen
sive proposition,” he joked.
More seriously, Clinton said he wants to be “a use
ful citizen of both my country and the world" and pur
sue efforts to make the world a better place. However,
he said he would “do it in a way that does not get in the
way of my successor. The United States can have only
one president at a time,”he said.
But he added with a smile, “I’ll be around."
In his remarks, Clinton stressed the import:
open markets and societies and called for the si
new round of global trade talks next year.
He said that both Gov. George W. Bushar.
President A1 Gore were committed to a moreii
global economy and er
trade.
“On the question of leai
for trade," Clinton said
can rest easy because both
didates made strong coninu'i
to do that.”

“Meanwhile, our government remains open fed
