Dole further accused Clinton of endangering the United States by refusing to create and install a high-tech missile defense system. "President Clinton is unwilling to have the United States defend itself against even a single incoming. nuclear missile," Dole said.
Frustrated by media reports that he and the president are more alike than not on foreign policy, Dole attempted to draw sharp distinctions by accusing Clinton of frittering away America's Cold War victory through "indecision and vacillation and weakness." Clinton, he said, "is making the world, in my view, a more dangerous place." the certain Republican presidential nomiDole, told several hundred business and community nee, leaders here that Clinton had subordinated interests in Europe to the whims of American nationalists in Russia and turned his back on embattled Bosnians.

He said he would scrap the Anti-Ballistic Missile of 1972 to allow the United States to Treaty and deploy a defense system to thwart develop attacks from incoming missiles. Opponents have charged such a system would be prohibitively but, Dole insisted, "We can afford it." expensive, he said, is dealing with Russia as he Clinton, wishes it to be, not as it is. "It is time to take our foreign policy out of the hands of an administration engaged in the dreamy of an international order, that cherishes pursuit romantic illusions about the soul of a former adversary an administration that doubts American power, questions American purpose and cannot fill American promise," Dole told members of the World Affairs Council, a nonpartisan public-policy group. In response, Vice President Al Gore said Dole wants to substitute bluster for substance." He "just accused Dole of having "obvious nostalgia for the era of direct confrontation between the United States and the former Soviet Union." Gore, who delivered the counterattack reporters summoned to the White House for the occasion, said the president and the candidate on much of the substance of U.S.-Russian agree relations and the expansion of the NATO alliance. blazes burn elsewhere burned in Alaska, New Mexico and Utah.
The Nevada fire was doused somewhat by an inch of snow that fell overnight around the lake. Rain fell throughout the day, helping firefighters on the scene since Sunday, when police said two boys playing with gasoline accidentally started the fire.
