USA: PRESIDENT CLINTON ANNOUNCES THAT POLAND IS TO JOIN NATO

(9 Jul 1996) English/Nat President Clinton has confirmed that Poland will join NATO and that the alliance will continue to expand. Clinton made the announcement at a White House news conference during the visit of the Polish president Aleksander Kwasniewski. U-S President Bill Clinton welcomed Poland's president to the White House Monday and assured him that NATO will expand into eastern Europe despite opposition from Moscow. A former Communist, Kwasniewski unseated Lech Walesa in November elections. SOUNDBITE: The important thing is that NATO is going to expand and we're going to do it in a deliberate fashion as we have said all along. SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President. SOUNDBITE: This is a process that has to be achieved by a consensus and we have to have the support of all the allies to do what we wish to do. So I'll continue to say what I have said all along, make no mistake about it: NATO will expand." SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President. Walesa had warned that a Kwasniewski victory, given his Communist background, would doom Poland's aspirations to NATO and European Union membership. Yet, in six months in office, Kwasniewski has won praise for representing Poland's interests abroad and promoting its desires to join NATO.
