The Final Word

Reporter: It is accurate that the president does want to go to Vietnam before the end of this term, isn't it?"

Reporter: "Iraq?"

- From an exchange between reporters and White House press secretary Joe Lockhart during questioning last week about a potential visit to Vietnam by President Clinton.
