    Statement on the Earthquake in Indonesia

    June 6, 2000

        I was saddened to learn of the earthquakes that shook the island of
    Sumatra and other parts of Indonesia. On behalf of the American people,
    I extend my deepest sympathies to all those who have suffered losses and
    injuries.
        The United States is providing emergency assistance to support
    relief efforts and stands ready to provide further help to meet the
    needs of those affected by the earthquake.
