>Subject: Is this what we *really* want? Why?
>
>Subject: Klinton's UN press conference question
>
>Here is the exact text of Klinton's response to the UN question posed on
>Friday (3/7/97), I got it from the White House web page...

>---------------------

> ...Let's take one from Sarah. And then I've got to take
>one from Jill Dougherty because she's about to go to Moscow and she
>needs to have her parting shot. Go ahead.

> Q Sir, this is on another subject. We have a very
>great problem in this country today, and I wonder if you would use
>your leadership to counteract the rumor-mongers that are abroad in
>the land who are spreading all these rumors that are scaring people
>to death -- large segments of our citizens believe that the United
>Nations is taking over whole blocks of counties in Kentucky and
>Tennessee.
>
> THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
>
> Q And some of them, they believe that --
>
> THE PRESIDENT: Now, you all are laughing, but --
>
> Q -- you're going to put us in a concentration camp
>and you're going to give our army to Russia and all that baloney.
>Could you do something about this? Because it's hurting the unity of
>the United States.
>
> THE PRESIDENT: I don't know, because the people who
>believe that think I'm the problem. (Laughter.) We're all laughing
>about it, but there is a not insubstantial number of people who
>believe that there is a plan out there for world domination and I'm
>trying to give American sovereignty over to the U.N. There was a --I
>read in our local Arkansas newspaper, one of them the other day had a
>letter to the editor saying that, there I go again, there's Clinton
>out there trying to give American sovereignty over to the United
>Nations.
>
> Let me just say this: For people that are worried about
>it, I would say, there is a serious issue here that every American
>has to come to grips with, including Americans that don't much think
>about foreign policy until some great problem occurs, and that is,
>how can we be an independent, sovereign nation leading the world in a
>world that is increasingly interdependent, that requires us to
>cooperate with other people and then to deal with very difficult
>circumstances in trying to determine how best to cooperate.
>
> That's the issue that you will all be reporting on for
>the next week in the Mexico certification issue. Did I do the right
>thing to certify Mexico? Are the members of Congress who disagree
>with me right when they say we should have decertified Mexico and
>then give it a national interest waiver so we could continue to
>cooperate economically and in others ways?
>
> I strongly believe I was right. But we don't -- if you
>want to go into that, we can later, but the issue is, we live in an
>interdependent world. We have to cooperate with people. We're
>better off when we do. We're better off with NATO. We're better off
>with the United Nations. We're better off when these countries can
>work together. So I just think for folks that are worried about this
>out in the country, they need to be thinking about how -- we're not
>going to give up our freedom, our independence, but we're not going
>to go it alone into the 21st century either. We're going to work
>together and we have to.
>
> Jill?

> Q Thank you very much, Mr. President. Speaking of
>Russia and NATO, yesterday we heard...
