    Statement on the Flood and Fire Disaster in Durunka, Egypt
    November 3, 1994

        I am deeply saddened to learn of the disaster in the Egyptian town
    of Durunka, as well as storm damage in other parts of the country. Mrs.
    Clinton and I join all Americans in extending our condolences to the
    families of the victims of this tragedy.
        We are grateful for the warm welcome offered to us by the Egyptian
    people during our recent visit. I have instructed the U.S. Agency for
    International Development to offer cooperation and assistance to
    Egyptian relief operations. The people of Egypt can be sure that their
    American friends will stand by them in coping with the aftermath of this
    terrible event.
