Statement by Press Secretary Fitzwater on the Iraqi Statement on 
Withdrawal From Kuwait
February 26, 1991

    Saddam Hussein's radio statement last night contained the same
diatribe as previous comments, with no commitment to complying with the 
12 United Nations resolutions. His speech changes nothing. It does not 
annul the annexation of Kuwait or meet any of the coalition's other 
terms. The war goes on.

                    Note: The statement referred to President Saddam 
                        Hussein of Iraq.
