    Tax Payment for Domestic Help

        Q. Mr. President, are you now going to ask all of your Cabinet
    Secretaries and Deputy Secretaries whether they have paid Social
    Security taxes and whether they ever had hired any illegal domestic
    help?
        The President. I've handled that through the White House Legal
    Counsel. I think Mr. Stephanopoulos has already given a statement about
    it.
        Q. Do you feel confident that everyone will now pay back taxes?
        The President. I do. I think everybody will do what they're supposed
    to do.
        Q. Sir, when are you going to----

    Bosnia

        Q. Sir, when do you expect to have a statement on Bosnia?
        The President. We're very close. I don't want to give you a specific
    time, but we're very close. As you know, we've done an awful lot of work
    on it. I spent a lot of time on it last week and a considerable amount
    of time today. So we're quite close.
        Q. Do you think this week you might have a diplomatic initiative?
        The President. I think we might be prepared to make a statement in
    the next few days, yes.

    Note: The President spoke at 2:04 p.m. in the Oval Office at the White
    House.
