BUILDING PEACE IN THE BALKANS : Clinton Will Visit Troops in Bosnia
President Clinton will visit U.S. troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina next week, hoping to bring home some good news from the peacekeeping front for his State of the Union address.
Citing security concerns, the White House refused to give the exact date or site of Clinton’s visit, although he is widely expected to visit the U.S. headquarters in Tuzla.
White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry said the trip will occur before Clinton’s State of the Union address, the Jan. 23 showcase of administration policy that political aides hope will lay the first marker for the 1996 presidential campaign.
