THE WHITE HOUSE
November 12, 1997
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
United Nations Security Council Resolution on Iraq
I welcome the prompt, clear and strong resolution by the United
Nations Security Council condemning Iraq for obstructing the work of
international weapons inspectors and defying the will of the
international community. With one voice, the Security Council has made
it clear that Iraq's actions are unacceptable, that it must submit to
investigations into Baghdad's ballistic missile, biological, chemical
and nuclear weapons programs, and that sanctions will remain in place
until Iraq cooperates. For Iraq, there is one simple way out of the
box Saddam Hussein has put it in: comply with the will of the
international community.
