    In accordance with the resolution of advice and consent to
ratification of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development,
Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their
Destruction, adopted by the Senate of the United States on April 24,
1997, I hereby certify in connection with Condition (7)(C)(i),
Effectiveness of Australia Group, that:
          Australia Group members continue to maintain an equally
       effective or more comprehensive control over the export of
       toxic chemicals and their precursors, dual-use processing
       equipment, human, animal and plant pathogens and toxins with
       potential biological weapons application, and dual-use
       biological equipment, as that afforded by the Australia Group
       as of April 25, 1997; and
          The Australia Group remains a viable mechanism for limiting
       the spread of chemical and biological weapons-related materials
       and technology, and that the effectiveness of the Australia
       Group has not been undermined by changes in membership, lack of
       compliance with common export controls and nonproliferation
       measures, or the weakening of common controls and
       nonproliferation measures, in force as of April 25, 1997.

    Jeffrey Stark, of Garden City, New York, received his B.A. from the

assistant: democratic vote by the majority of the members of the OAS to reinstate
Cuba as an active member of the Inter-American system.  If not, why not?
      THE PRESIDENT:  No, because just last year, the OAS voted to kick
anybody out who abandoned democracy.  So we would look completely
hypocritical if we said, here's a set of rules we have for all of our
members -- if you abandon democracy you're out of here; but we feel so
terrible that Cuba has been under this dictatorship for 40 years and has
been outside the OAS that we think we'll bring them in here.
      First of all, I think it's hypocritical.  Secondly, I don't
believe that democracy has been in effect and is secure enough from the
enormous pressures that are on a lot of countries to guarantee that we
can preserve it if we were to make that sort of mistake.
      Now, other countries in OAS in the Americas are perfectly free to
disagree with our position on Cuba.  For example, the Canadian Prime
Minister -- one of you just asked a question -- just went to Cuba.  But
I think when he was there, he was also pressing for democracy and human
rights.  We can have differences in our approach to the same goal, and I
wouldn't criticize that.  But I think to open up the OAS or the Summit
of the Americas to a non-democratic nation, in my view, would be a big
mistake.
      This country stands for freedom and democracy.  We're fighting
like crazy to preserve it in countries where it is very difficult to do
so, where people literally put their lives on the line every day for
freedom.  And when people are out there risking their lives, we ought
not to send the wrong signal about how important that is to us.
      Thank you.

                        STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
                  On Senate Approval of NATO Enlargement
    I am delighted that the Senate voted by an overwhelming margin to
admit Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic into NATO.  This vote is
a major milestone on the road to an undivided, democratic, and peaceful
Europe.  The addition of these three democracies to our alliance will
strengthen NATO, expand the zone of stability in Europe and reduce the
chances American men and women will ever again be called into Europe's
fields of battle.  The message this vote sends is clear:  American
support for NATO is firm, our leadership for security on both sides of
the Atlantic is strong, and there is a solid, bipartisan foundation for
an active U.S. role in the world.
    I want to pay tribute to the indispensable efforts of the many
leaders from both parties who brought us to this day, starting with
Majority Leader Lott and Minority Leader Daschle.  This vote stands
in the tradition of Harry Truman, George Marshall and Arthur Vandenberg
and the other giants who kept America engaged in the world after World
War II and were present at NATO's creation.  Their lesson then is our
lesson tonight -- that our strength lies in a foreign policy guided by
the interests and values that unite us as Americans.

    The President today declared a major disaster exists in the State of
Indiana and ordered Federal aid to supplement state and local recovery
efforts in the area struck by a severe winter storm on March 9-12, 1998.
    The President's action makes Federal funding available to affected
individuals and local governments in a four county area.  The counties
include Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, and Porter.
    Federal funding also is available to eligible local governments on a
cost-sharing basis for the repair or replacement of public facilities
damaged by the severe winter storm.  Federal funding is also available
on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures.
    James L. Witt, Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), named Mr. Gray Pierson of FEMA's regional office in Chicago,
Illinois to coordinate Federal recovery operations in the affected area.
    The Agency said that damage surveys are continuing in other areas,
and additional counties may be added after the assessments are
completed.

permanent status talks.  I regret that.
    I have asked Secretary Albright to meet later this week with Prime
Minister Netanyahu while he is in Washington.  The objective of those
discussions will be to seek to overcome the remaining differences so
that we can proceed immediately with accelerated permanent status talks.
    Secretary Albright will then report to me whether, as a result of
her discussions with the Prime Minister, the basis exists to launch
those talks in Washington.

                       ON NEW MONTHLY JOB NUMBERS
     This morning, our Labor Department has reported that unemployment
in the United States of America has now fallen to 4.3%, the lowest in
28 years.
     In the month of April alone, our economy added 262,000 new jobs.
Wages continue to rise and inflation remains low and stable.  That
means that our economy has now created 15.2 million new jobs. . .
     It's obvious from this morning's announcement that America's
economic engine is truly humming -- lower unemployment, higher wages,
more jobs, and low inflation -- proof positive that all across the
United States of America, we're headed in the right direction.
