Will also be welcoming President's support for Mr Patten's democracy proposals, and expressing hope that President

The Prime Minister has welcomed President Clinton's policy statement of 10 February. This established a broadly common
approach between us. However, we are keen to emphasise certain aspects. The Prime Minister might say:
Very much welcome President Clinton's 10 February statement.
Warmly welcome full US engagement. Commend activity of Bartholomew and close cooperation with Owen/Vance.
In my talks with President Clinton, will want to stress importance of sustaining pressure on all parties,
particularly tightening existing sanctions. Should keep new
sanctions on hold.
Ideally, enforcement of No-Fly Zone would be part of overall package on implementing final agreement; alternatively,
could be enacted if Serbs block talks.
Agree importance of NATO role in peace-keeping operations
under UN mandate. Welcome US commitment. Need for
intensive US/UK/France consultations.
Have responded to President Clinton's message with
ideas on how US humanitarian contribution could best be
targeted.
