[0:02] President Clinton prepares to make the
[0:04] case for his Bosnia policy in a speech
[0:06] to the nation tomorrow night. And the

[1:15] are at stake.
[1:17] These values are easy to describe,

[1:24] multinational peacekeeping force, which
[1:27] Perry says will be responsible for
[1:28] creating and enforcing a zone of
[1:30] separation between the warring factions.
[1:33] The peacekeepers will enforce a
