[0:09] >> Reassuring words from the president. The

[0:12] United States, he says, is taking

[0:13] extraordinary steps to guard against

[0:16] terrorism.

[0:45] John Roberts. President Clinton says US

[0:48] law enforcement is taking what he calls

[0:50] extraordinary steps to guard against

[0:52] terrorism. His advice to you, keep your

[0:55] eyes open, report anything suspicious,

[0:57] but do not stay home and hide over the

[1:00] holidays. We'll hear more from the

[1:01] president in an exclusive interview

[1:18] Christmas gifts already wrapped because

[1:20] you just might have to unwrap them for

[1:22] inspection. It was only one of several

[1:24] warnings issued in Washington today. The

[1:26] State Department was especially worried

[1:28] about Americans overseas.

[1:30] >> We have information about the

[1:32] possibility of terrorist attacks in

[1:34] different parts of the world.
