新闻发布会——新闻秘书迈克·麦柯里谈到了以下话题:麦柯里说，美国国务卿沃伦·克里斯托弗(Warren Christopher)正在“最后阶段”确定中国声称向巴基斯坦移交特种磁铁的事实。这些磁铁可以用于生产核弹头的核燃料。根据美国核不扩散法律的规定，如果克里斯托弗确定中国进行了这种转移，美国可能会对中国实施经济制裁。麦柯里指出，国家安全部门正在考虑这个问题，以便在克里斯托弗的调查结果到达办公桌后，决定克林顿是否应该选择一个特定的选项。麦柯里说，克林顿可能会从他的国家安全团队那里收到一份建议，放弃实施制裁，但他没有说明克林顿可能会采取什么行动。他建议克林顿采取的任何行动都将与克里斯托弗的决心同时宣布。他对一个提问者说，以色列总理佩雷斯决定就与巴勒斯坦人的最终解决方案举行全民公决，这应该由双方来决定。“双方决定如何裁决最终地位问题，”麦柯里说，“以及如何处理这个问题。”金博宝正规网址在被问及——鉴于巴勒斯坦反对在定居点问题上给予以色列人民发言权——是否佩雷斯的决定不会使进程“复杂化”时，麦库里回答说:“我不想评论各方用来安排”最终决议的进程。 NUN OFFERED SUPPORT He said the Ursuline nun tortured and raped by the Guatemalan military met twice with Nancy Soderberg, President Clinton's deputy assistant for national security affairs. McCurry said the White House again pledged to provide to the public all available information about her case and those of Michael DeVine and Efraim Bamaca. According to news reports, Sister Dianna Ortiz, 37, is holding a 21-hour a day vigil in Lafayette Park seeking information about U.S. knowledge of her 1989 kidnapping, torture and gang rape by Guatemalan death squads. Ortiz, an American citizen, says a man speaking American English and broken Spanish supervised the episode. "We are her advocates," McCurry said. "We are on her side." He noted the administration "is dealing with the actions of a prior administration." Clinton has assigned the Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB) to examine the three cases; McCurry said its final report is expected in the first half of this year. He said Ortiz met April 1 with board members as well as with Ms. Soderberg, who also conferred with Ortiz in Lafayette Park. "We've made it very clear to her that we are on her side," McCurry said, adding that additional meetings with the nun are to take place this week. "The president," McCurry said, "is determined to get to the bottom of her case" as well as those of DeVine, an American citizen executed by the Guatemalan military, and Bamaca, whose widow, Jennifer Harbury, staged a series of hunger strikes to gain information about his death. Asked why the nun apparently does not believe the assurances, McCurry said, "I don't know that she disbelieves. She wants to make sure that those responsible for what she alleges occurred to her are brought to justice. Her presence in Lafayette Park is testimony to the strength of her conviction that justice needs to be pursued and the president shares that conviction." NNNN
