    Statement by the Press Secretary on the President's Meeting With the
    Dalai Lama
    April 28, 1993

        The President and the Vice President met yesterday with His Holiness
    the Dalai Lama and discussed issues relating to Tibet.
        ``The Dalai Lama is internationally revered for his spiritual and
    moral leadership,'' the President said. ``As a Nobel Peace Prize winner
    and committed advocate of nonviolent change and resolution of disputes,
    I deeply appreciated hearing the Dalai Lama's views on the situation in
    China, including Tibet. The administration continues to urge Beijing and
    the Dalai Lama to revive a dialog between them and presses China to
    address human rights abuses in Tibet.''
