President's upcoming meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Barak of Israel

It's a great, great success story, and I congratulated President Kim on that.

I really came over here just to have a chance to shake hands and say hello.

H.R. 1175 would mandate in law a diplomatic agenda and timetable with respect to the missing in action (MIA) soldiers which would not advance and may in fact hurt U.S. efforts to discover more information about these soldiers.

H.R. 1175 would mandate a set of reporting requirements which are unnecessary and would be counterproductive to ongoing diplomatic efforts.

I want to thank the leaders and the people of Macedonia for helping a just cause to prevail in Kosovo.

It is a great honor for me, for Hillary, for Secretary Albright, indeed, for our entire American delegation to share this historic day with you.

The two governments will strive to accomplish the important task of achieving results in these negotiations as early as possible.

I believe that the Russian people should be very, very proud of the role, the indispensable role that Russia played in these diplomatic negotiations.

There is a G-8 now, not a G-7-plus-one.

I hope that this interview will help to some extent by giving me the opportunity to clarify my country's position and our commitment to a strong, successful, democratic Russia.

Today we rejoice at the promise of peace in Northern Ireland and the resolve of her people to approach their differences not with weapons, but with words.

It is fitting that we are having this dinner here, almost 200 years later, to chart a new century and to explore our relationship with Ghana and with Africa.

The peace talks in Rambouillet, France, are a significant step forward in the search for a fair and lasting peace in Kosovo.

Whatever happens today and however they agree to proceed, I think it's very important that the Serbs exercise restraint on the ground and that the Kosovars respond in kind.

It is imperative that all sides avoid provocations that would imperil this progress.

South Asia—and, indeed, the entire world—will benefit if India and Pakistan promptly turn these commitments into concrete progress.

I welcome the successful meeting over the weekend between Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee and Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif.
