I am very, very hopeful that the United States and France can be partners in updating our common interests.

I believe the United States has an obligation to try to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

I think it is entirely possible that such a meeting might be useful.

I restated the position of the administration, which is now well-known in the public, that we were opposed to the introduction of American ground forces.

I think everyone now recognizes that we cannot continue on the past course.
