                       REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
           IN PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WITH BIPARTISAN LEADERSHIP
	     
                           The Cabinet Room

	     Q	  Mr. President, will you be going to Congress to get 
authorization before any troops would be sent to Bosnia?
	     
	     THE PRESIDENT:  We're here consulting about Bosnia 
today, and I have been extensively consulting and no decision has 
been made by this administration about this yet.  So when I do, then 
we'll continue to have proper process.
	     
	     Q	  Do you think the War Powers Act is constitutional?  
(Laughter.)
	     
	     THE PRESIDENT:  Ask my lawyer.  I don't play lawyer.  I 
think it's worked reasonably well.
	     
	     Q	  How do you think the vote will go in the Serb 
parliament?
	     
	     THE PRESIDENT:  I don't know.  I hope they'll not only 
vote for it, I hope they'll observe it, which is two different 
issues.  We have to start our meeting here in a minute, but I think 
one of the things that we have to discuss is that we want an 
agreement in words and an agreement in fact.  And that's what we've 
got to watch.
	     
	     Q	  Are you feeling any comfort in what Mr. Christopher 
is saying?  It sounds as though he's running into roadblocks.
	     
	     THE PRESIDENT:  No, I talked to him several times since 
he's been on the trip.  I'm pretty pleased, actually, with the 
progress he's made.  We're a lot -- we're in a much different place 
and much nearer agreement than we were 10 or 12 days ago.  
	     
	     Q	  Have you and Senator Dole made up?
	     
	     THE PRESIDENT:  Absolutely.  (Laughter.)  I agree with 
what he said yesterday.
	     
	     THE PRESS:  Thank you.
