(SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON SAYING "I've believed very strongly from the first time I came here that Russia's future is fundamentally in the hands of the Russian people. It cannot be determined by others and it should not be. But, Russia's future is very important to others because it is among the most important journeys the world will witness in my lifetime. A great deal of the 21st century will be strongly influenced by the success of the Russian people in building a modern, strong, democratic nation that is part of the life of the rest of the world." 1.25 4. HAS DEPUTIES LISTENING 1.32 5. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CLINTON SAYING "I learned on my trip to Russia the issue is not whether we intend to do something that will undermine mutual deterrence, I think that most people who have worked with us, not just me, and others, over the years, know that we find any future apart from cooperation with you in the nuclear era inconceivable. The real question is debate over what the impact of this will be, because of the capacity of the technology involved, and I believe that it is a question of fact that people of good will ought to be able to determine. I believe we ought to be able to reach an agreement about how we proceed at each step along the way here in a way that preserves mutual deterrence, preserves strategic stability and preserves the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. That is my goal." 2.33 6. SV DEPUTIES AND US SECRETARY OF STATE MADELEINE ALBRIGHT LISTENING 2.39 MOSCOW, RUSSIA (JUNE 5, 2000) (ORT - NO ACCESS CIS/INTERNET) 7.
