The Vice President: In the meantime, we are getting new pressures, especially from Capitol Hill, to go after Saddam's head.
The President: That's right, Tony, and you just heard our press making exactly that point. But that approach is nowhere near as simple as it sounds on the surface.

Prime Minister Blair: Our public opinion is not the same as yours, but we are working hard to educate the public. We put out a white paper yesterday on Iraq's WMD programs.
The President: I heard it is an outstanding document.
Prime Minister Blair: We have to educate international opinion so they see the real threat and choices we face.
SUBJECT: Telcon with British Prime Minister Tony Blair (U)
PARTICIPANTS: The President, Prime Minister Tony Blair
DATE, TIME AND PLACE: July 27, 1997, 12:41 - 1:02 p.m. EDT Private Residence, Los Angeles, California
Prime Minister Blair: What I think, the reason why I think there is some hope in the situation is that the ordinary people in Northern Ireland are desperate for peace.
The President: Oh God yes. This is the place in the world where there is the largest disconnect between the leaders and what the ordinary people want.
Prime Minister Blair: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(b)(d)
The President: And we will do that. I got your letter on the Middle East and I basically agree with the letter... I E.O. 13526, section l.4(d)... And I am really glad you are going to become EU president in January because my sense is that we can get some grudging progress for the rest of the year, and if there is going to be a breakthrough, then we will need everyone's help to close next year. I don't think the present situation can be maintained. E.O. 13526, section 1.4(d)
