THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ____________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release April 25, 1994 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO THE POOL UPON DEPARTURE The South Grounds 10:50 A.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. I'm on my way, as you know, to Ft. Myer, to the service; so I can't stay and answer a lot of questions. But I did want to make a brief statement about the situation in Bosnia. It appears that the pressure brought to bear by NATO and the U.N. has worked, and that the cease-fire is holding, that the withdrawal is continuing. We will continue to monitor the situation very closely as the next day unfolds. I do want to say it's now clearly time to get the diplomatic initiative going again while we maintain our vigilance. But I am pleased by the progress of the last 48 hours. Q Have things been worked out with the U.N., Mr. President? THE PRESIDENT: I think so. I think so. Q Does that mean no air strikes? THE PRESIDENT: No. Oh, no. I think he was just referring to the situation on Saturday. Yes, I think so. END10:53 A.M. EDT
