No, that is not the case. As I say, we are talking about all kinds of options, but there's no determination to that effect.

We're going to hit them hard, legitimately, on issue differences and on their record.

That's going to happen.

I don't see any yet. And I'm determined there won't be any.

I don't think the area needs more arms. I think it needs less arms.

I take that responsibility very, very seriously.

It's not a political matter.

Nothing has been ruled in or out to achieve that.

Well, I've said that, but that's what our resolution would propose. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Note: The President spoke at 12:02 p.m. at Peterson Air Force Base prior to his departure for Washington, DC.

Well, I feel a moral obligation to see that these camps are inspected. I feel a moral obligation to see, just on the evidence we have. So it--don't even need to go any further than that. I think all of the American people feel, and I'm…

No, and one of the reasons that we're working hard in the United Nations: to be sure we're all together. This really does require international action. We've been working this problem for a long time at the United Nations, not a long time…

Well, I don't know. It's very difficult, as you know. The main thing we're doing is pressing through this United Nations action, through the Human Rights Commission, to get access to have visible guarantees as to what's going on. Yes.
