the President tried to provide the world a clear road map to his foreign policy during an international townhall meeting. Unfortunately, according to the latest poll, most Americans believe the President is still lost. Some 53 percent disapprove of the way the President conducts his foreign policy, and an astonishing 48 percent do not trust him to make the right decision. On the Clinton foreign policy map, there are so many U-turns, dead ends, forked crossings, and wrong ways, the people need more than a map to figure out where this President is going. They need a fortune teller. Madam Speaker, why is it the President seems to have his map turned upside down when it comes to foreign affairs? Is it because he spends so little of his time and energy on this vital subject? President Clinton may have a foreign policy road map, but most Americans wish he would pull over and ask for directions.
