The White House Office of the Press Secretary ----------------------------------------------------------------- For Immediate Release May 7, 1993 STATEMENT BY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS MAY 7, 1993 The very idea that President Clinton, or any American President, would make a decision involving the lives of Americans in uniform for political reasons is outrageous. Patriotic and thoughtful Americans can honestly disagree about how the world should respond to the tragedy in Bosnia. But the debate should not be trivialized by ill-considered and intemperate accusations such as those made by Mr. Perot. -30-
