Bill Clinton actually said...

"I support President Yeltsin's commitment in that regard."

"I have great confidence that the people of this great nation can move through this present difficult moment to continue and complete the astonishing process of democratization and modernization."

"I come here as someone who considers himself a friend of your country and someone who deeply believes that in the century just ahead of us, America and Russia must be partners."

"I reaffirmed America's strong view that Russia can move beyond today's crisis and create growth and good jobs."
