    Exchange With Reporters Prior to a Meeting With the Congressional Black
    Caucus
    July 11, 1995

    Affirmative Action

        Q. Mr. President, are you prepared to deliver your affirmative
    action review next Wednesday, as has been speculated?
        The President. What date is that?
        Q. The 19th. [Laughter]
        The President. I believe that's the day we're going to do it.
        Q. Have you already reached a conclusion? Are you going to brief
    these Members today

    [[Page 1073]]

    on what your thoughts are dealing with affirmative action?
        The President. I'm going to deal with their agenda today. I'm here
    and I'm listening to them and they're going to go through an agenda and
    I'm going to respond to it.

    President Boris Yeltsin of Russia

        Q. Any further word on Boris Yeltsin and how that might impact on
    U.S.-Russian relations?
        The President. No. I got another report after this morning's meeting
    with congressional leadership, and our latest report is that he seems to
    be resting well and feeling pretty good and making some decisions from
    the hospital. That's the latest report I got--is about 30 minutes ago.

    Note: The exchange began at 10:44 a.m. in the State Dining Room at the
    White House. A tape was not available for verification of the content of
