Bill Clinton: “Well, I think the confusion would be what the evidence supports. There is some--traces of some chemicals have been…”

On the recordJuly 23, 1996
Well, I think the confusion would be what the evidence supports. There is some--traces of some chemicals have been identified, but in the way that they were identified, though, I believe--the stories that I read implied, I think, more than the evidence supported at the moment. And I'm not criticizing anybody because we're all desperate to find an answer to this. But based on the reports that I have read, and I'm getting regular reports on this both orally and in writing, I cannot tell you that the evidence establishes a cause of the accident. So finding various traces of things may indicate that something happened, and it may not. But right now, the people we have looking at this have not drawn a firm conclusion that's been relayed to any of us.
