MCU (English) BHUTTO: "I have tried to have contact with the military authorities, but I've been unable to get through. I tried yesterday, but I was coming to America today so I was unable to follow it through, however as far as my going to Pakistan; if elections are announced within three months I will go back immediately, but if the military would like to first set up an interim government of civilians and seek to restore political and economic stability before they more on to elections, then I will go back at a time that will encourage that process rather than disrupt it in any fashion." 1.11 ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (OCTOBER 14, 1999) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 5.

MCU (English) BHUTTO SAYING: "Right now we have military rule, so I don't see myself coming back as Prime Minister until the military hold elections - I believe in democracy and should I run my country I want to run it if the people have confidence in me. But my country is in difficulty and if the military government wants me to assist in an informal capacity, and unofficial capacity on any of the key issues, then I'm willing to do that - and there are many key issues. There are problems with the relations to our proliferation issues, the test ban treaty. There are problems with relations to India; with relations to Taleban. So I wouldn't like to be pushing them, but if they want my advice then I would certainly offer it." 2.49 ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (OCTOBER 15, 1999) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 11.
