Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. Chapter 22, as amended) and the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552, as amended) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in
accordance with legal exemptions.
Copyright
Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of
their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the
United States (17 U.S.C. Chapter 1) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of

Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2014-0837-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the
FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related material.
FOIA 2014-0837-F consists of records regarding correspondence between President Clinton and
Russian President Boris Yeltsin from 1993 through 1999. Mr. Yeltsin was the first President of the
Russian Federation following the dissolution of the USSR. As Russia transitioned to a more marketbased economy, and as Europe confronted the unrest in the Balkans, the two presidents formed a close
working relationship. In their correspondence, Presidents Yeltsin and Clinton discussed current world
issues including Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Nagorno-Karabakh, START II, the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty,
and economic issues. There are also letters of a routine and personal nature commemorating birthdays,
holidays, and offering condolences for tragedies.

�THE
PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
PRESS AVAILABILITY WITH PRESIDENTS
CHIRAC AND SANTER
THE WHITE HOUSE
JUNE 14, 1995
It is a pleasure to welcome President Chirac and
President Santer [SAHN-tair] to the White House, the
first visit for both leaders since taking office.
�I want to congratulate President Chirac on his victory
in the French elections last month. From our many
contacts with him during his lifetime of public service,
America knows that President Chirac is a true and
reliable friend. In his short time as President, he has
already demonstrated his leadership, and we applaud
his determination to create jobs and economic growth
in his country. With Jacques Chirac as president, we
are sure that the French commitment to peace,
stability and economic progress is in excellent hands,
and our relations with France — America's first ally -will grow even stronger in the years to come.
�It was a pleasure as well to meet President Santer,
whose leadership in the cause of Europe follows in the
great tradition that began with Jean Monnet. More
than 30 years ago, President Kennedy spoke of a
strong and united Europe as an equal partner with
whom we face "the great and burdensome tasks of
building and defending a community of free nations."
This is more true than ever, and our summit today
shows that the United States' partnership with Europe
continues to be a powerful, positive force.
�Presidents Chirac and Santer and I reviewed a wide
range of economic and security issues. We discussed
our efforts to help the countries of Central Europe and
the former Soviet Union continue the transition to
democracy and free market economies
we
reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening NATO
and proceeding with the steady process of enlarging
the alliance....we agreed that we must continue to
liberalize trade.
�We also agreed that senior representatives of the U.S.
and the EU will work together to develop a common
economic and political agenda for the 21st century -and Secretary Christopher has already provided a
roadmap for this dialogue in his recent Madrid speech.
We also discussed our mutual efforts to strengthen UN
peacekeeping forces and reduce the suffering in
Bosnia. In the midst of that tragedy, we must not
forget: our efforts have saved thousands of lives, and
we must continue that work.
�We also explored a number of issues that will be taken
up at the annual summit of the leaders of the G-7
industrial nations that begins tomorrow in Halifax.
I'd like now to turn to those issues.
�Halifax marks another step in our effort to build the
structures for the global economy of the 21st century.
In the face of astonishing change — the miracles of
technology...the growing economic ties between
nations...the rapid movement of people and
information — our prosperity depends on preparing
our people for the future and forging an international
system strong enough andflexibleenough to make the
most of these great new opportunities.
At home, we established a record of strong
achievement with extraordinary job growth and
strong investment and exports.
�7
We have worked to bring down the budget deficit and
now have the lowest among all the G-7 countries. And
with our new budget proposal, we will wipe out the
deficit in ten years while investing in education for our
young people and taking thefirststeps to address
problems in our health care system. That will clear the
way for stronger growth in the years and decades to
come.
Abroad, we set out clear goals: first, to open world
markets;
�8
second, to help former communist countries transform
themselves into free market democracies; third, to
promote economic reform in the developing world;
and fourth, to speed reforms in international financial
institutions.
These efforts have yielded tremendous success. We
fought to create NAFTA » the world's largest free
trade area...led the campaign to complete the
GATT....and we forged agreements to work toward
free trade among the most dynamic economies in the
world -- in the Asia Pacific region and in our own
hemisphere.
�We have supported nations in Central Europe, the
New Independent States and the developing world in
their historic turn to free markets and democracy. In
all of these areas, we have turned back the forces of
isolation and made the world economy work for
people who want to build a better life for themselves
and their children.
Now, we have a chance to reap enormous benefits....in
high-wage jobs...greater opportunities....and growing
prosperity. In Halifax — building on our agreements
last year in Naples — we will focus on reform of the
institutions of the international economy.
�10
The IMF, the World Bank and the regional banks
have served us well over a half century and they have
grown, taking on new missions as times demanded.
But to deal with the new economy, we must give them
new guidance and momentum.
First, we must work to identify and prevent financial
problems like Mexico's before they become disasters —
and rock the global economy. And when crises occur,
we must have efficient ways to mobilize the
international community.
�11
In Mexico, acting in our own best national interests,
the United States has taken the lead, and early
indications are that the Mexican economy is beginning
to revive. But we cannot — and will not ~ be the
lender of last resort for the entire world.
Second, we must examine how best to adapt for a new
era the multilateral development banks and the social
and economic agencies of the United Nations. These
organizations have helped dozens of nations build
their economies and improve the lives of their people.
The United States will not walk away from the banks
and other agencies that serve our national interests.
�12
They are sound investments, and in the years ahead,
their work will be even more vital. But we must
ensure that they focus on human needs, work for
sustainable development and encourage private
enterprise.
Finally, together with Russia, we will discuss a range
of political issues including Bosnia, Iran's nuclear
ambitions, European security and reform in Russia.
We will consider new forms of cooperation to combat
international crime, terrorism and nuclear smuggling - because prosperity without security means little.
�13
None of these tasks is easy -- and we cannot expect
solutions in a single summit or a single year. But as
President, my job in Halifax is clear: to do everything
within my power to increase the safety and prosperity
of the American people. To reap all the benefits, we
must move forward with our G-7 partners and adapt
for a new era. In Halifax, we will take another step
not only toward international economic cooperation
but toward creating a world in which all Americans
can live out their dreams.

f o r t h e P r e s i d e n t ' s Use w i t h French P r e s i d e n t C h i r a c
UNCLASSIFIED
�U.S.-EURATOM Agreement
On June 7 France put a hold on EU member s t a t e approval of
the proposed new agreement f o r peaceful nuclear cooperation
between the United States and the European Atomic Energy
Community (EURATOM). Under U.S. law, such an agreement i s
required f o r s i g n i f i c a n t nuclear trade w i t h other nations or
groups of nations, i n c l u d i n g export of reactors and f u e l . The
e x i s t i n g agreement expires by i t s terms December 31, 1995.
Following completion of negotiations i n e a r l y May, the
Commission f o r m a l l y approved the d r a f t t e x t on May 10 and
recommended that EU member states approve i t i n the General
A f f a i r s Council (GAC). Some member s t a t e s , notably France, but
also Germany, Belgium and the UK, have expressed reservations
about the t e x t . France i s blocking, at least t e m p o r a r i l y ,
action by the GAC. Senior Commission o f f i c i a l s are working t o
overcome t h e i r concerns. Time i s of the essence to avoid or
minimize a gap i n coverage at the beginning of next year.
S i g n i f i c a n t nuclear trade between the U.S. and EURATOM w i l l not
be l e g a l l y possible a f t e r January 1 without an agreement i n
force.
On the U.S. side, once the proposed agreement has been
approved by the EU the Secretaries of Energy and State w i l l
decide, under procedures required by the Atomic Energy Act,
whether to recommend t h a t you approve i t and authorize
execution. I f you take these steps, i t w i l l be signed and
forwarded to Congress f o r a s t a t u t o r y review period of 90 days
continuous session (four to s i x calendar months). Absent
l e g i s l a t i o n to disapprove i t , the agreement may be brought i n t o
force at the end of the review period.
Talking Points
The t e x t agreed on by U.S. and EU Commission negotiators
l a s t month not only meets U.S. legal requirements f o r
agreements of t h i s type, but also EURATOM's need f o r a stable
and p r e d i c t a b l e environment f o r i t s nuclear i n d u s t r y .
The agreement r e f l e c t s my determination t h a t the United
States w i l l be a r e l i a b l e nuclear t r a d i n g partner.
The agreement was not easy to reach. The negotiators
explored every possible avenue of compromise and f i n a l l y
a r r i v e d at a d e l i c a t e l y balanced r e s u l t t h a t serves the
i n t e r e s t s of both p a r t i e s .
With the e x i s t i n g agreement set to expire at the end of the
year, and lengthy preparations required to bring the new one
i n t o force, there i s l i t t l e to be gained by e i t h e r side, and
much to be l o s t , i n re-opening the n e g o t i a t i o n s .
I urge you to support the new agreement as i t stands.

President Chirac: Thank you f o r r e c e i v i n g me. I would l i k e t o
ask one q u e s t i o n . We received i n f o r m a t i o n a few hours ago about
a massing o f Bosnian government troops i n Sarajevo. We are
w o r r i e d by t h a t . f&)
The P r e s i d e n t : You should be w o r r i e d . Let me t e l l you what we
know. I wanted t o r a i s e t h i s i n our discussions on Bosnia. The
Bosnian government has been improving the s t r e n g t h o f i t s f o r c e s .
They b e l i e v e they are q u i t e strong now and are i n t e r e s t e d i n
launching an o f f e n s i v e t o open the road t o Sarajevo.
Secretary
C h r i s t o p h e r has cautioned Prime M i n i s t e r S i l a j d z i c very s t r o n g l y
about the p o s s i b l e adverse consequences. We have t o l d them t h a t
they c o u l d l o s e , t h a t they could put the peacekeepers i n more
danger, t h a t t h i s could lead t o more s h e l l i n g o f Sarajevo, t h a t
i t c o u l d endanger the continued existence o f UNPROFOR. We don't
know i f t h i s message had any impact on S i l a j d z i c o r others i n h i s
government. They are g e t t i n g a l o t o f encouragement here from
the new Republicans i n Congress who are pushing f o r a u n i l a t e r a l

we are v e r y concerned about the o f f e n s i v e .

The P r e s i d e n t : We w i l l do whatever we can. They h o n e s t l y
b e l i e v e t h a t they can defeat the Serbs and t h a t they can f o r c e a
l i f t i n g o f the arms embargo. They b e l i e v e t h a t i f they can get
heavy weapons and get t r a i n e d on them, they could use them before
the Bosnian Serbs are able t o overwhelm them w i t h t h e i r
a r t i l l e r y . Our m i l i t a r y b e l i e v e s t h a t t h i s i s a b s o l u t e l y wrong
and we have t o l d them so repeatedly. But r i g h t now they are
l i f t e d by t h e f a c t t h a t they have improved t h e i r c a p a b i l i t y over
the past months. f&)
President Chirac: This means t h a t they have been g e t t i n g arms
and t h a t the embargo i s n ' t working. f&)
The P r e s i d e n t : They are also emboldened by a l l the t a l k i n
Congress about u n i l a t e r a l l i f t .
But we have t o l d them r e p e a t e d l y
t h a t they can't win and t h a t I w i l l veto u n i l a t e r a l l i f t .
We
have t o l d them t h a t we support the UN mission and t h a t we are
determined t o work i n p a r t n e r s h i p w i t h our a l l i e s — e s p e c i a l l y
the UK and France — t o strengthen UNPROFOR. Maybe they b e l i e v e
t h a t they can open the road w i t h o u t any o t h e r consequences.
Maybe they t h i n k t h a t t h i s w i l l speed the day o f l i f t i n g the arms

Secretary Christopher: Our l a t e s t i n t e l l i g e n c e i s t h a t t h e
Bosnians are not q u i t e ready t o launch t h e o f f e n s i v e and may w a i t

w i l l n o t come t o t h e i r rescue i f they s t a r t something and then
get a b l a c k eye. f&)
The P r e s i d e n t : I f t h i s i n f o r m a t i o n i s r i g h t and they aren't
going t o be ready d u r i n g the G-7, i t w i l l give us more time t o
work on them. fe)
President Chirac: We have the same i n f o r m a t i o n as you. I was
informed t h a t a few hours ago the c o n c e n t r a t i o n o f forces was
g e t t i n g b i g g e r and b i g g e r as we speak. fe)
The P r e s i d e n t : I suggest we p u t the issue o f the Bosnian
o f f e n s i v e t o t h e side and come back t o i t l a t e r . I would l i k e t o
t a l k about t h e s t a t u s o f the Rapid Reaction Force. I w i l l do a l l
I can t o deal w i t h the o f f e n s i v e , b u t every day more and more
members o f Congress want t o f o r c e t h e u n i l a t e r a l l i f t i n g o f the
arms embargo. You may have had an impact i n your d i s c u s s i o n w i t h
the Senators and Congressmen over lunch. I understand you t o l d
them what I have been saying f o r months. f&)
President Chirac:
I doubt I had much e f f e c t .
fe)
The P r e s i d e n t : You are there on the ground and have a f i r s t - h a n d
appreciation of the s i t u a t i o n .
^
President Chirac: I can only say, before l e a v i n g t h e s u b j e c t o f
the o f f e n s i v e , t h a t i n the c u r r e n t circumstances i t would be good
to have t h e UN S e c u r i t y Council R e s o l u t i o n on the Rapid Reaction

United S t a t e s .
We should do t h i s before t h e G-7. I t w i l l be a
major s i g n a l , even though I know you have problems w i t h the
Congress. f&)
The P r e s i d e n t : The main issue w i t h t h e Congress i s t h e f a c t
t h a t , under t h e proposal, we would be o b l i g e d t o fund 30 percent
of the Rapid Reaction Force, and Congress would have t o
a p p r o p r i a t e t h e funds. This new Congress i s t h e most
i s o l a t i o n i s t Congress since the 1930s. Last n i g h t I sent them
another budget w i t h a c l e a r plan t o balance t h e budget over 10
years. I t would p r o v i d e f o r cuts i n o v e r a l l spending — except
f o r defense, r e t i r e m e n t and healthcare f o r t h e e l d e r l y — by 20%
across t h e board i n r e a l d o l l a r s (or 40% w i t h o u t i n f l a t i o n ) . I t
would h o l d on t o a l l o f our f o r e i g n a f f a i r s investments and
increase spending on education. You must see t h i s issue i n t h a t

c o n t e x t . I would vote l i k e t h i s [snapping h i s f i n g e r s ] i f I
d i d n ' t have t o get the money. I f we voted tomorrow, i t c o u l d
undermine our a b i l i t y t o keep the word o f the United States on
f u n d i n g o f the Rapid Reaction Force, and i t could cause more
t r o u b l e . That i s the o n l y issue.
The head o f the House Foreign A f f a i r s Committee, Ben Oilman — a
p r e t t y good guy, not a r e a c t i o n a r y — has w r i t t e n t o me on t h i s .
A l o t o f people i n the Senate are good on f o r e i g n a f f a i r s and
they want t o see us m a i n t a i n our commitments. But we haven't
f i g u r e d out a s t r a t e g y t h a t would enable us t o vote tomorrow i n
f a v o r o f the Rapid Reaction Force. There has been some change i n
the m i s s i o n o f the f o r c e since the o r i g i n a l d i s c u s s i o n a t the
P a r i s meeting.
I f I could f i g u r e out a way not t o make t h i n g s
worse w i t h the Congress, I would vote tomorrow. Our request f o r
a delay i s so t h a t we can f u l l y b r i e f the Congress on why we
support the Force and why the U.S. should finance p a r t o f i t .
Ambassador Harriman knows w e l l t h a t every Senator b e l i e v e s he or
she should be P r e s i d e n t . I f we voted f o r the Rapid Reaction
Force w i t h o u t t e l l i n g them, they would almost c e r t a i n l y deny me
the funds.
fG}
I f you s a i d t o me t h a t i t would be worth r i s k i n g the funds, then
I would consider v o t i n g tomorrow. But i f you can give me two
days t o a l l o w the Congress t o beat up on the Secretary and the
N a t i o n a l S e c u r i t y Adviser, t o t e l l us how t e r r i b l e Bosnia i s , and
t o make speeches, i t would increase the chances t h a t I c o u l d fund
the f o r c e .
{G)
-But again, i f i n your judgment, you need the vote tomorrow
because something bad could happen, and you are ready t o increase
the r i s k t h a t I can't pay, then t e l l me.
You have stuck your
neck out time and time again. I support the Rapid Reaction Force
and want t o do the r i g h t t h i n g . I f we have an agreement, I want
t o h e l p . But i f we go t o a vote tomorrow, i t would reduce the
chances s u b s t a n t i a l l y t h a t I can persuade Congress t o fund i t .
President Chirac: There are two problems, p o l i t i c a l and
f i n a n c i a l . P o l i t i c a l l y , everyone i n c l u d i n g the Russians i s ready
t o vote f o r the r e s o l u t i o n . The s i t u a t i o n i n Bosnia being what
i t i s , I t h i n k we should approve the r e s o l u t i o n tomorrow ~ t h a t
i s , b e f o r e the G-7 Summit. On the f i n a n c i a l problem, maybe you
cannot get the funds from the Congress t o pay the U.S. share.
We
w i l l see.
The P r e s i d e n t : Ours i s a p r e t t y b i g share —

The P r e s i d e n t : So you would choose the p o l i t i c a l b e n e f i t now,
even w i t h an increased f i n a n c i a l r i s k ? fe)
President Chirac: Yes, I ' l l take the f i n a n c i a l r i s k , although I

Secretary Christopher: I t h i n k t h a t i f we go ahead w i t h o u t
c o n s u l t i n g t h e Congress, we r i s k i n c u r r i n g great outrage on t h e
Hill.
I r e c e i v e d the most angry l e t t e r I have ever r e c e i v e d from
Oilman. He was outraged t h a t we would go ahead w i t h t h e

The P r e s i d e n t : I s there any chance t h a t we could c o n s u l t on an
emergency b a s i s , b u i l d i n g on t h e d i s c u s s i o n a t the lunch today?
Secretary Christopher: I would l i k e t o assess t h a t
recommendation. President Chirac made some progress a t lunch
w i t h Lugar, Nunn, McCain and others — many o f t h e key Senators
were t h e r e . We should see how they f e e l i n t h e wake o f t h a t
d i s c u s s i o n . I know t h a t President Chirac s a i d t h a t he and John
Major don't understand t h e need f o r delay. But t h e r e has been
great c o n f u s i o n engendered by two f a c t o r s . F i r s t , we o r i g i n a l l y
thought t h a t the Rapid Reaction Force would i n v o l v e n a t i o n a l
f o r c e s ; t h i s was our understanding a t the Paris Defense
M i n i s t e r s ' meeting.
Second, there were statements by t h e UN l a s t
weekend — e s p e c i a l l y by Akashi — which drove our Congress up
the w a l l . Those statements spoke of not doing a n y t h i n g w i t h o u t
the consent o f t h e Bosnian Serbs. Your c o n v e r s a t i o n w i t h t h e
Congressmen helped c l a r i f y t h a t and I understand you w i l l be
seeing Dole and G i n g r i c h t h i s a f t e r n o o n . These two issues have

The P r e s i d e n t : Very good. From t h e day I took o f f i c e . Dole has
been encouraging t h e Bosnian government t o ignore what I want t o
do and pushing f o r an independent s t r a t e g y t o l i f t t h e arms

should t e l l Dole t h a t whatever he may t h i n k about t h e arms

The P r e s i d e n t : I am going t o say t h a t I support President

b e l i e v e we should pay a p a r t i a l share o f t h e cost because, as

need t o separate the Rapid Reaction Force i n Dole's mind from h i s

Options Paper: Position on French Request For Assistance in Defense of Gorazde
Background: The French and British remain far apart following Sunday's meeting
ofC
HODS in London on their
approach to the issue of reinforcing Gorazde against potential Bosnian Serb
attack:
The French have portrayed the
survival of Gorazde as a litmus test of UNPROFOR's future viability; they are
prepar
ed to support our proposals
for robust use of air power to protect Gorazde, but have tied this to their proposal
to reinforce the peacekeepers
on the ground as a deterrent to Serb aggression; moreover, they insist that only a
v
isible commitment of additional
U.S. support in Gorazde, i.e. helicopter airlift, will satisfy Chirac and head off a
French decision to withdraw. The
UK argues against anything that would change the nature of the existing
UNPROFOR mis
sion, is skeptical about
CLINTON LIBRARY P O O O Y PERE.O.0526
HTCP
�300AF032.FIN
Page 2 of 4
robust use of air power, and has indicated it does not see the survival of Gorazde
a
s essential to the continuation
of UNPROFOR. The British have indicated, however, that they may be willing to
consi
der the option of a
"private" warning to the Bosnian Serbs that if they attack Gorazde, NATO will
retali
ate with a massive air
campaign (similar to the UK/U.S./French warning delivered in early June with
respect
to the hostages).
Our own military analysis (and that of Bosnian Foreign Minister Sacirbey) is that
a
truly robust air campaign would
be far more critical to the defense of Gorazde than the addition of French troops;
b
ut it may be difficult to
persuade the French to delink this from the deployment of additional ground
forces.
The challenge is to find a
means of satisfying the French concerns over Gorazde that will not be blocked by
the
UK, while at the same time
bolstering UNPROFOR for the more critical task of protecting Sarajevo and
central Bo
snia and avoiding making
the fall of Gorazde the trigger for UNPROFOR withdrawal.
Options: There are two basic options for a U.S. response to the French in
preparati
on for the Foreign and Defense
Ministers' meeting scheduled for London on Friday, July 21.
u Option 1 "Yes, but..." Tell the French that we are prepared to support their req
uest, but that we view the
reinforcement of UNPROFOR in Gorazde as mainly symbolic (as they have
implied). The
numbers and
mission therefore could be scaled back, with emphasis on enhancing the ability to
co
ordinate NATO air
support for the enforcement of the exclusion zone and for the Bosnian
Government's d
efense of the enclave.
We would make clear that there can be no compromise on insisting that
preemptive SE
AD and a robust air
campaign, without the existing dual key, are the preconditions for U.S. support in
CLINTON LIBRARY P O O O Y

ifting the troops: we do not
intend to take part in flying troops into harm's way if there is no additional reali
stic capability to defend their
positions once they are in place. We would also stress that we are not committing
t
o participation in any
resupply effort. And we would state that, while we are in favor of making a
determi
ned effort to deter a
Serb offensive against Gorazde, we would still favor maintaining UNPROFOR in
Sarajev
o and Central Bosnia
in the event Gorazde falls.
u Option 2 "No, because..." Tell the French that, absent their ability to present
a realistic mission for the forces
they are proposing to send to Gorazde, the troops could be more effectively
employed
around Sarajevo, and
that therefore we could not justify providing helicopters to move them. However,
ag
ree with the French that
a major change in UNPROFOR credibility must be signaled at Gorazde, and
encourage th
em to join us in
persuading the British to support a robust air campaign, supported by preemptive
SEA
D, to enforce the
exclusion zone and assist the Bosnian forces in protecting the Gorazde Safe Area.
Analysis: Either option may be rejected by the British and other troopcontributing
Allies, probably resulting in a
French decision to pull out of UNPROFOR. Option 1 would reduce French
ability to p
ut the blame on us in that
event. If accepted and our questions are satisfactorily answered, Option 1 would
re
quire us to make good on the
offer to provide helicopter air lift. This would prompt Congressional and public
op
position to crossing the "red
line" toward ground involvement -- opposition that could become unmanageable
if one
of our helicopters were
shot down. Moreover, it could commit us to follow-on actions to save Gorazde if
the
Serbs attacked and
threatened to overrun the enclave.
CLINTON LIBRARY P O O O Y
HTCP
�Page 4 of 4
300AF032.FIN
The robust air campaign envisaged by both options would increase the risk of UN
pers
onnel being taken hostage,
but without this, neither Gorazde nor Sarajevo may prove viable in the long term.
T
he British willingness to issue
a "private" warning (that we would, of course, leak) of a massive air response to
an
attack on Gorazde could be
incorporated into either option. It may not, however, go far enough to satisfy the
French interest in visible action
on the ground, but it may be the means to unlocking the UN key on SEAD and
robust ai
r strikes. If we support
this approach, the authority for single-key SEAD and air strikes must be granted
in
advance, triggered by a
Bosnian Serb attack on Gorazde. If also linked to a robust campaign to open land
ro
utes to Sarajevo, this might
be sufficient to bring the French along, but probably not without direct lobbying
by
the President with Chirac.

With r e g a r d t o the suggestion you made l a s t week r e g a r d i n g

t o you about t h a t f o r a few minutes.
Our m i l i t a r y people b e l i e v e
t h a t since the primary t h r e a t t o Gorazde i s from a r t i l l e r y
s h e l l s , adding 1,000 troops might increase deterrence but i t
would n o t m a t e r i a l l y change the m i l i t a r y balance, and might
c r e a t e an increased problem o f resupply and reinforcement. They
also say t h a t i f we were t o do i t , we have t o take pre-emptive
a c t i o n a g a i n s t a i r defenses. Otherwise French troops and our
h e l i c o p t e r s w i l l be s i t t i n g ducks and the l i k e l i h o o d t h a t we w i l l
lose h e l i c o p t e r s w i t h your troops on board i s q u i t e s t r o n g .
I agree w i t h you t h a t we cannot abandon Gorazde, b u t we must make
c e r t a i n we have what are the most e f f e c t i v e means we can take t o
defend i t . I know i n sending another 1,000 troops — e s p e c i a l l y
French troops — i t may have a p s y c h o l o g i c a l e f f e c t on the Serbs.
But i n sending i n troops our m i l i t a r y people b e l i e v e (and I agree
w i t h them) t h a t t h e r e would be considerable r i s k s and t h a t i t
wouldn't change the m i l i t a r y balance i n Gorazde. At any r a t e , I
t h i n k i t ' s i m p e r a t i v e t h a t you and I work t o g e t h e r between now

I t could be a good

Let me say another t h i n g w i t h regard t o your p r o p o s a l . I t seems

Let me ask two questions. First, several months ago when the
safe areas were worked out for the first time, the Serbs had
artillery and they gave it up; and I still believe Milosevic
would like some relief from sanctions. If we put 1,000 French
troops in Gorazde and the Serbs attack the city what will the
French do? Will they shoot back?
m
President Chirac:
Of course, n a t u r a l l y .
The P r e s i d e n t : A l l r i g h t , b u t i f t h a t happens, then you can
argue t h a t t h a t i s as much a change i n the UN mission as dropping
bombs. Mladic i s a smart man. I f you r e p e l him, h e ' l l take

But we have t o p r o t e c t Gorazde. The

The President: I f we do take aggressive action, we could t i p the

Prime M i n i s t e r Major: On the issue of the 1,000 troops, I don't
rule i t out e n t i r e l y , depending on what other decisions we take.
Let's turn to Gorazde, where we have 300 Welsh f u s i l i e r s and
9,000 government troops who w i l l probably f i g h t , but lose. They
may not f i g h t at a l l l i k e i n Srebrenica. |
1.4b, 1.4d~
The wider issue i s there i s not a shred of doubt that we cannot
stay where we are. Ideally, the objective i s to deter the Serbs
from taking Gorazde.
Our objectives are to deter the Serb seizure
of Gorazde and keep Sarajevo going and to enable the UN to carry
out i t s mission more e f f e c t i v e l y . The UN w i l l be unable to
remain i n Bosnia without an e f f e c t i v e policy. We need a cohesive
U.S./British/French plan and to get others on board. On Gorazde,
we need some f l e x i b i l i t y ; we don't want anyone digging i n t o r i g i d

t o g e t h e r i s t h a t something has t o be done; i t i s not p r a c t i c a l
p o l i t i c s t o do n o t h i n g . Something must be done and i t w i l l
i n v o l v e t h e t h r e a t o f a i r power. I f i t has a chance o f being
e f f e c t i v e , Mladic must b e l i e v e we mean i t .
I n the past, he has
o n l y been slapped on the w r i s t . We need t o give him two messages
— one i n p u b l i c and one i n p r i v a t e . The one i n p r i v a t e must be
very s p e c i f i c on the s i z e and scale o f the response so he knows
we mean i t .
The Serbs have t o see p h y s i c a l movement o f assets,
so they see we're not b l u f f i n g . I f we make the t h r e a t , we must
be prepared t o c a r r y i t out i n spades. I f we do t h i s , s e v e r a l
t h i n g s may f o l l o w : hostages may be taken — c i v i l i a n and
m i l i t a r y personnel who are exposed must be hunkered down before
F r i d a y . We are d e a l i n g w i t h a madman who has a Dutch b a t t a l i o n
i n h i s hands. We can't r u l e out the thought o f Mladic's
s l a u g h t e r o f the Dutch. fG)
Here's a marginal p o i n t t h a t I'm not q u i t e sure o f the answer t o .
I f we use Suppression o f Enemy A i r Defenses o r a i r a t t a c k s ,
arguably t h a t means the end o f the UNPROFOR mission. I t may be a
d e c i s i o n t o be taken immediately, o r n o t . But i f i t i s and we
must leave, t h a t would i n v o l v e the NATO p l a n i n c l u d i n g U.S.
t r o o p s . So we're i n the process o f s e t t i n g i n motion a chain o f
events l e a d i n g t o committing 50,000 NATO troops i n Bosnia t o
b r i n g out UNPROFOR. I'm happy t o consider t h i s as long as we
understand the consequences: the impact o f an a i r a t t a c k ,
p o s s i b l e hostages and the need t o take UNPROFOR out i f necessary.
Once t h e y ' r e o u t , we have t o guard against a wider Balkan war.
You have assets i n Macedonia. We would need t o consider p u t t i n g
assets elsewhere t o prevent a trans-Balkan war from b r e a k i n g out
i f t h e r e i s t r o u b l e i n Kosovo o r elsewhere. f&)
Regarding the a i r t h r e a t , the t h r e a t t o Mladic has t o be
c r e d i b l e . I t i s debatable, depending on the nature o f the
s i t u a t i o n , whether t o go s t r a i g h t t o f u l l a i r a t t a c k o r i f i t
should be gradual r e t a l i a t i o n . We must ensure t h a t UN personnel
are i n r e l a t i v e l y safe places a t the time we issue the t h r e a t .
That's what I t h i n k . I hope you, Chirac and I can agree today o r
tomorrow i n time t o come up w i t h a p o s i t i o n f o r F r i d a y . ( O
The P r e s i d e n t : You've thought i t through w e l l . Two t h i n g s need
to be done. I do not know the exact p o s i t i o n o f a l l the UNPROFOR
troops and associated c i v i l i a n s . And I do not know how long i t
w i l l take them t o get i n t o p o s i t i o n s t h a t are r e l a t i v e l y immune.
Secondly, I agree w i t h your a n a l y s i s t h a t i f we had t o launch a
major a i r campaign, i t might be the end of the UNPROFOR mission.
We have t o c a l c u l a t e what t h a t means. Can we get m u l t i l a t e r a l
l i f t ? Do we do a NATO l i f t i f Russian blocks m u l t i l a t e r a l l i f t
i n the UN? Does a new i n t e r n a t i o n a l f o r c e come i n o r , do we take
a l l i n t e r n a t i o n a l forces out? Also, depending on the r e s u l t s o f
the bombing, we must consider the s i t u a t i o n under which i t could

b r i n g about a c e a s e - f i r e or meaningful movement i n the peace
process. I f we are s u c c e s s f u l , UNPROFOR can s t a y w i t h o u t f e a r o f
hostages being taken; they can continue w i t h humanitarian r e l i e f ,
resume a i r drops and open the Mt. Igman r o u t e . Time i s running
out on us.
I f bombing secures our p o s i t i o n , we would s t i l l have
o n l y a few months t o j u i c e up the peace e f f o r t and reach an
agreement. We need t o see what we could do t o change the
dynamics of the process and hasten an agreement. I b e l i e v e i t ' s
p o s s i b l e i t would work l i k e i t d i d i n 1994 when the safe areas
were e s t a b l i s h e d . Those decisions bought us a few months. This
assumes t h a t you and others want t o stay.

Prime M i n i s t e r Major:
Yes,

The President: We s t i l l need a f a s t t i m e l i n e f o r t h i s e f f o r t or
the Serbs w i l l q u i c k l y b i t e us i n the r e a r .
fG-)
Prime M i n i s t e r Major: We also have t o consider how they w i l l
r e a c t . They may r e a c t savagely or they may be smart. They may
not a t t a c k but j u s t leave Gorazde b o t t l e d up and a t t a c k Sarajevo.
The President: Yes.
Then we would have t o p u l l out a l l the
stops. I f Sarajevo f a l l s , i t w i l l be a d i s a s t e r f o r a l l of us.
Prime M i n i s t e r Major: I t h i n k the French w i l l ask i f we are

The P r e s i d e n t : They never ask UNPROFOR t o leave. They want i t
a l l — the embargo l i f t e d and UNPROFOR t h e r e t o boot. fe)
Prime M i n i s t e r Major: I doubt anyone has been keener t o keep the
UN t h e r e than me. I f i t t u r n s out t o be an a i r o f f e n s i v e , there
w i l l be no c r e d i b l e work f o r the UN, and i t w i l l be p o i n t l e s s and

c o n t r i b u t i n g U.S. troops t o get the UN out? fe)
The P r e s i d e n t : Yes. Even Dole has acknowledged t h a t we have a
moral duty t o ensure the safe withdrawal o f our a l l i e s . f&)
Prime M i n i s t e r Major: I f we go t h i s r o u t e , I am prepared t o do
something dramatic i n Gorazde. I don't want t o r u l e out l i f t i n g
our boys out. f€-)
The P r e s i d e n t : You and I t h i n k along the same l i n e s . This may
lead t o the c o l l a p s e of UNPROFOR, but i t i s b e t t e r t o go out w i t h
a bang than w i t h a whimper; otherwise we go out w i t h our t a i l
between our l e g s . f G)
Prime M i n i s t e r Major: I'm not sure whether the Mladic message
should be graduated o r the b i g bang response. I need t o run i t
by my Defense M i n i s t e r , Chief of S t a f f and s o l d i e r s on the
ground. Supposing we go down t h i s r o u t e , we have t o do something
p o l i t i c a l i n tandem. W i l l you e n t e r t a i n i n v i t i n g the Pale Serbs
to a conference at the f o r e i g n m i n i s t e r o r head of s t a t e l e v e l ,
which c o u l d discuss land swaps and p o l i t i c a l settlement? We may
be going down the m i l i t a r y route one-legged. fG)
The P r e s i d e n t : I've had no d i s c u s s i o n of the d e t a i l s o f t h i s ,
but i f we make a b o l d m i l i t a r y t h r u s t , we should accompany i t
w i t h a b o l d d i p l o m a t i c i n i t i a t i v e . We need t o f i n d out where
B i l d t i s , whether t h e r e i s any progress i n h i s t a l k s . Regarding
the message t o Mladic, I w i l l t a l k t o my people who understand
his psychology and h i s way of o p e r a t i n g . f£)
Prime M i n i s t e r Major: The b i g question i s what happens on the
ground. I f we issue the ultimatum, i f the Serbs take us up and
we proceed, the UN comes out. The government troops w i l l begin
to be armed but t h a t takes time, and the Serbs w i l l make a great
deal o f advance i n i t i a l l y . I
1.4b. 1.4d
With the UN out, there w i l l be no c r e d i b l e
i n t e r n a t i o n a l reason t o i n t e r v e n e unless we enter on the s i d e o f
the government, which would be a de f a c t o d e c l a r a t i o n of war on
Serbia and M i l o s e v i c . Yet, could we s i t on the bench, say we had
done our best and watch on BBC and CNN the slaughter? Or would
we be prepared t o declare war on the Serbs?

The P r e s i d e n t : There i s a t h i r d o p t i o n t h a t would have t o be

The P r e s i d e n t : That i s a d i f f i c u l t t h i n g . The e f f o r t would have
t o be c a r e f u l l y circumscribed. The p o i n t t o make t o the Russians
would be t h a t they supported the Contact Group p l a n and the Serbs
s a i d no, ignored Russian wishes and screwed them.

That might be what i s a t t h e end o f the

come o f i t .
But l i k e Micawber's benefactor, n o t h i n g turned up.

might have been. fG)

"IDE CHARETTE THEN ASKED FOR
THE SECRETARY'S READOUT OF THE CLINTON-CHIRAC CALL.
THE SECRETARY CHARACTERIZED THE PRESIDENTIAL CALL AS
POSITIVE. HE WAS ENCOURAGED BY THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
THAT THERE MUST BE CHANGES IN THE WEST'S POLICY. NOTING
FRENCH AND U.S. AGREEMENT THAT A LINE MUST BE DRAWN AT
GORAZDE, THE SECRETARY ALSO UNDERSCORED C M O U.S.,U.K.
OMN
AND FRENCH GROUND ON THE NEED FOR A VIGOROUS AIR
CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE SERBS SHOULD THEY ATTACK GORAZDE.
THE SECRETARY WELCOMED THE CONVERGENCE OF IDEAS AMONG
THE THREE COUNTRIES ON HOLDING THE LINE AT GORAZDE AND
DETERRING THE SERBS WITH THREATS OF A VIGOROUS AIR
CAMPAIGN.
THE SECRETARY SAID U.S. MILITARY LEADERS HAVE STUDIED
THE FRENCH PROPOSAL TO REINFORCE THE ENCLAVE WITH 1000
FRENCH TROOPS AND HAVE CONCLUDED IT IS AN UNWISE MOVE.
HE STRESSED THIS IS A MILITARY VIEW, AND NOT A POLITICAL
ONE. HE REITERATED HIS BELIEF THAT WARNING THE SERBIAN
LEADERSHIP PUBLIQLY AND PRIVATELY AS TO WHAT AIRSTRIKES
COULD DO TO ANY SERBIAN INCURSION FORCE INTO GORAZDE
WILL DETER SUCH AN ATTACK BETTER THAN REINFORCEMENT.
REINFORCEMENT OF GORAZDE WITH MORE TROOPS IS A SYMBOLIC
GESTURE THAT WOULD SURELY HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.
THE SECRETARY TOLD DE CHARETTE THE WORLD IS LOOKING TO
THE PLAYERS AT THE LONDON MEETING TO ACHIEVE A C M O
OMN
POSITION. HE ASKED DE CHARETTE TO CONSIDER THE AIR
CAMPAIGN OPTION AND SAID HE WOULD DISCUSS OTHER OPTIONS
WITH FM RIFKIND IN THE MORNING.

THE SECRETARY SAID IT WOULD BE MOST UNFORTUNATE SHOULD

COLLEAGUES THE NEED FOR A SUCCESS IN LONDON.
THE SECRETARY STRESSED GORAZDE IS A MILITARY PROBLEM;

SUBJECT:
Your Meeting w i t h Christopher and S h a l i k a s h v i l i on
the London Meeting on Bosnia. (Perry cannot
attend; John White w i l l attend.)
M i l i t a r y Results o f London: We got e s s e n t i a l l y what we wanted i n
London on Gorazde, taking i n t o account the l i m i t s on consensus
created by the composition of the meeting (see press p o i n t s ,
attached). The m i l i t a r y paper agreed by the U.S., UK and France
i s a tremendous advance over previous NATO a i r s t r i k e decisions i n
terms o f broader t a r g e t i n g and m o d i f i c a t i o n of the dual key:
•
a u t h o r i t y t o i n i t i a t e t h e a i r campaign would be i n t h e
hands o f t h e NATO a i r commander, A d m i r a l Smith, and t h e
UNPROFOR f o r c e commander on t h e ground, General Smith.
This i s c o n s i s t e n t w i t h normal m i l i t a r y p r a c t i c e ;
•
i n a d d i t i o n , once t h e a i r campaign i s i n i t i a t e d , t h e NATO
commander would have s o l e a u t h o r i t y t o c o n t i n u e t h e a i r
s t r i k e s u n t i l t h e Serbs h a l t t h e i r a t t a c k s on Gorazde. The
UN commander c o u l d n ' t t u r n o f f h i s key.
Follow-up: The p l a n w i l l be taken up by NATO's M i l i t a r y
Committee over t h e weekend. The NAG meets today t o endorse
the London r e s u l t s and p r o v i d e t h e necessary t a s k i n g s t o t h e

Warning to the Serbs: I t was agreed i n London that we, the
B r i t i s h and French would d e l i v e r a p r i v a t e warning to General
Mladic even before the NAG has approved the plan (either
tomorrow or on Monday). The B r i t i s h w i l l send a senior A i r
Force o f f i c e r as t h e i r emissary, along with an Under Secretary
of Defense; the French are doing roughly the same. We should
probably designate an A i r Force General as w e l l .
Other Safe Areas: The London warning applies only to Gorazde;
the other A l l i e s were r e l u c t a n t to extended the new m i l i t a r y
plan to Sarajevo or other safe areas, but agreed t h i s could be
done l a t e r through another NAG d e c i s i o n i f necessary. With
the e s c a l a t i o n i n Bihac and threat of Croatian i n t e r v e n t i o n ,
you might ask whether we should move q u i c k l y to extend the
warning to Bihac and, perhaps, Sarajevo as w e l l .
D i p l o m a t i c Track: The B r i t i s h made a l a s t - m i n u t e push t o have
the London meeting endorse the package t h a t C a r l B i l d t has
worked out w i t h M i l o s e v i c on r e c o g n i t i o n of Bosnia and b o r d e r

Group F o r e i g n M i n i s t e r s l a s t n i g h t . We r e f u s e d t o endorse t h e
B i l d t package because:
•
t h e Bosnian Government has problems w i t h the package (and
we have always r e f u s e d t o impose terms on the B o s n i a n s ) ;
•
we s t i l l have problems w i t h the mechanism f o r r e i m p o s i n g

You should ask C h r i s to:
•
give h i s view on where we go with the B i l d t package; and
•
whether we should modify our p o s i t i o n on contacts with the
Bosnian Serbs i n order to get d i r e c t t a l k s going among the

LONDON MEETING ON BOSNIA
We went to London convinced that the status quo in Bosnia was untenable and that only
strong and decisive action would be sufficient to halt Serb aggression, restore
UNPROFOR's effectiveness, and reestablish conditions that could lead to a political
settlement.
We were particularly determined that clear decisions be taken to prevent the Bosnian
Serbs from attacking the last remaining safe area in eastern Bosnia, Gorazde, and that
measures be adopted for relieving the Serbs' siege of Sarajevo.
The London meeting achieved these objectives. The key now is to move quickly to
translate these decisions into reality. Let me review the decisions and their significance:
First, there was agreement that any Bosnian Serb attack on Gorazde would be met with a
"substantial and decisive response." This means a strong and decisive response by
NATO air power, going beyond the limited strikes conducted previously, if the Serbs
defy our warning.
-
The U.S., UK and France agreed on a concept of operations that provides for broadgauged strikes against military forces attacking Gorazde or concentrating for an
attack, against supporting forces and command-and-control and, if necessary, against
military targets elsewhere in Bosnia.
-
It would also modify the "dual key" in a significant way, taking UN political
authorities out of the chain of command and placing authority to initiate the air
campaign in the hands of the NATO air commander, Admiral Leighton Smith, and
the UNPROFOR force commander on the ground, General Rupert Smith. This is
consistent with normal military practice.
-
Moreover, once the air campaign is initiated, the NATO commander would have sole
authority to continue the air strikes until the Serbs halt their attacks on Gorazde.
The NAC will meet today to task work by NATO's military authorities. The plan will
then be discussed by the NATO Military Committee, with a view to a decision by the
North Atlantic Council (NAC) on Monday to put the new approach into effect.
-
I should point out that existing authority for air strikes and close air support is still in
effect should the Serbs move on Gorazde (or other safe areas) before the NAC has
acted.
We have agreed with the British and French that the new approach could be applied to
the other safe areas if necessary. This would require only a decision by the NAC to do
so.
The second important decision in London was to take decisive action to ensure access to
Sarajevo for delivery of humanitarian aid and resupply of UN forces, through early use
of the Rapid Reaction Force. The British announced their decision to send a battalion to
Sarajevo to further strengthen the effectiveness of UN capabilities there.

�The London meeting also reaffirmed the international community's commitment to
achieving a political settlement, stressing the urgency of renewed negotiations among the
Bosnian parties based on the Contact Group plan.
-
The participants voiced their support for the efforts of EU mediator Carl Bildt to
secure recognition of Bosnia by Serbia-Montenegro and a sealing of Serbia's border
with Bosnia.
- Bildt briefed Contact Group Ministers on the package he has worked out with
Milosevic, but that package was not approved; in fact, we see a number of issues that
still need to be satisfactorily resolved, and we also need to consult with the Bosnian
Government on whether the terms for mutual recognition are acceptable.
The participants in the meeting also agreed to increase support for efforts to address
Bosnia's humanitarian crisis, which was exacerbated by the Serb attacks on Srebrenica
and Zepa and the new wave of brutal ethnic cleansing. The participants demanded the
international community be given immediate access to all detainees still being held by
the Bosnian Serbs.
Underlying all these decisions is a reaffirmation that a strengthened and more effective
UNPROFOR should remain in Bosnia.
-
We continue to believe that UNPROFOR's withdrawal would lead to a larger human
tragedy in Bosnia and an increased danger of wider conflict in the Balkans.
-
Our allies made clear in London that action by the U.S. to lift the arms embargo
unilaterally will force the withdrawal of UNPROFOR. It would also undermine the
London meeting's renewed display of resolve for UNPROFOR to deal firmly with
the Bosnian Serbs' outrageous behavior.
-
We should not be taking actions that drive UNPROFOR out at the very moment it
has committed to take action to protect the Bosnian people in Gorazde and other safe
areas.
