[0:02] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:07] with Dan Rather and Connie Chung.

[0:12] Good evening. Live tonight from

[0:14] Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where all day in

[0:16] every possible way President Clinton has

[0:18] been sending a message to Haiti's

[0:20] military leaders loud and clear.

[0:22] Get out of town. Get out of the country.

[0:24] Get out now. Nothing else is negotiable

[0:27] or face an overwhelming US invasion

[1:09] the invasion force would be in position

[1:11] very soon. Although no deadline has been

[1:14] set. Not yet, anyway.

[1:16] One has not been established this time.

[1:18] I'm not proposing I'm not suggesting

[1:20] there might not be some change in the

[1:21] future in that.

[1:24] Today in Norfolk, the aircraft carrier

[1:25] Eisenhower got underway with scores of

[1:27] army helicopters lashed to the deck.

[1:30] Already underway off the East Coast, a

[1:32] second carrier, the America, took aboard

[1:34] an estimated 2,000 air assault troops

[1:37] for what promises to b
