Bill Clinton actually said...

I welcome France's decision to end nuclear testing in the Pacific and its strong support for signing a zero-yield comprehensive nuclear test...

This is an affair of the heart that has enormous economic and political and social implications for America.

I know I speak for all Americans when I express our condolences to the people of France on the loss of our friend President Mitterrand.

I want to thank the bipartisan leadership of the conference that produced this landmark legislation.
