On the recordMarch 19, 1999
I think it's very important. And I think that what young people will learn from my experience is that even Presidents have to do that and that there are consequences when you don't. But I also think that there will be a box score, and there will be that one negative, and then there will be the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times when the record will show that I did not abuse my authority as President, that I was truthful with the American people. And scores and scores of allegations were made against me and widely publicized without any regard to whether they were true or not. Most of them have already been actually proved false. And it's very hard to disprove every false allegation against you. But we have had more success, frankly, than I was afraid we would when we started. So I would hope that there would be a higher regard for truth telling by all people in public life and all those who report on it. I think it would be a very good thing. Yes. Kosovo
