STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY

President Clinton to Visit Poland, Romania and Denmark

President Clinton will travel to the Republic of Poland, Romania and the Kingdom of Denmark immediately following the NATO Summit in Madrid, at the invitation of the Presidents of Poland and Romania and Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark.

These visits, like the Madrid Summit, are part of the President,s efforts to help build an undivided, democratic and secure Europe in the next century. This will be the President,s first trip to Romania -- and the first visit by a U.S. President in over twenty years -- and his second trip to Poland. It will be the first visit to Denmark by a sitting U.S. President and an opportunity to highlight this NATO ally,s important role in contributing to European security and stability, including in the Baltic/Nordic region.
