((As they headed up the stairs to Air Force One...heading to the summit in Moscow ...heading away from the epicenter of the Monica Lewinsky investigation...the President and Mrs. Clinton tried to appear the
picture-perfect first couple.
The two-days of meetings with Russian President, Boris Yeltsin were supposed to center on a range of international issues like nuclear
proliferation, terrorism, and trouble in the Balkans.
They'll still be discussed, but Russia's economic and political crisis
is clearly overshadowing everything.
Before leaving for Moscow, the President spoke out at an education event
in Washington...urging the Russian people not to look to their communist
past for answers to their current problems.
CLINTON: IF THEY WILL STAY ON THE PATH OF REFORM
TO STABILIZE THEIR SOCIETY AND STRENGTHEN THEIR ECONOMY AND GET GROWTH
BACK, THEN I BELIEVE AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WESTERN NATIONS WITH
STRONG ECONOMIES SHOULD HELP THEM.
On the one hand, this trip gives Mr. Clinton a chance to play senior statesman again...at a time when his political image could use a boost.
But others are convinced the situation in Russia is too volatile right
now...and believe the world will see an image of two embattled
Presidents trying to prop each other up.
Indeed, earlier on Monday, a significant setback for Boris Yeltsin...the lower legislative house, the Duma, refused to endorse his latest pick
for Prime Minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin. Yeltsin is re-submitting Chernomyrdin's name.
And Mr. Clinton hadn't even left Washington when the republicans started swinging again.
TRENT LOTT/SENATE MAJORITY LEADER/ R-MS: AS A HUSBAND AND A FATHER, I AM OFFENDED BY THE PRESIDENT'S BEHAVIOR AND BY THE TRAGIC
EXAMPLE THAT HE HAS SET FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.
