between
Saudi

it

Remarks
on the
Terrorist
Attack in
Saudi Arabia
and an
Exchange with
Reporters
June 26, 1996
[Excerpt]
Question:
Mr. President,
in light of
the
possibility
that the
bombing was
carried out by
people who
don't want
American and
Western forces
on Arab soil,
do you feel
the need to
reaffirm the
mission to the
American
people?
The
President:
Well, first of
all, I believe
that the
United States
has been made
very welcome
there.
We have tried
not to be an
obtrusive
presence.
We have worked
in close
partnership
with the
Saudis for a
long time,
since the
Presidency of
Franklin
Roosevelt.
And I think it
would be a
mistake for
the United
States to
basically
change its
mission
because of
this.
We
are there at
the invitation
of the Saudi
Government and
in partnership
with the Saudi
Government.
I am reluctant
to comment on
whether it was
directed
primarily
against us
because we're
Americans or
simply because
we're there in
partnership
with this
government.
I
had a good
talk with King
Fahd yesterday
who expressed
his deep
regret at our
loss and his
determination
to find those
responsible,
and I believe
that we should
wait until we
know who did
this and what
their motives
were to say
more.
But I believe
the United
States mission
in the Middle
East is
important, and
it is
supportive of
countries that
support the
peace process,
and I believe
that we should
continue on
that mission.
