                        THE PRESIDENT'S ROADMAP

  (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LINDER. Madam Speaker, the President tried to provide the world a 
clear road map to his foreign policy during an international townhall 
meeting.
  Unfortunately, according to the latest poll, most Americans believe 
the President is still lost. Some 53 percent disapprove of the way the 
President conducts his foreign policy, and an astonishing 48 percent do 
not trust him to make the right decision.
  On the Clinton foreign policy map, there are so many U-turns, dead 
ends, forked crossings, and wrong ways, the people need more than a map 
to figure out where this President is going. They need a fortune 
teller.
  Madam Speaker, why is it the President seems to have his map turned 
upside down when it comes to foreign affairs? Is it because he spends 
so little of his time and energy on this vital subject?
  President Clinton may have a foreign policy road map, but most 
Americans wish he would pull over and ask for directions.
