This White House briefing with President Bill Clinton followed the release of American serviceman Michael Durant. Mr. Durant was taken capture by General Aidid’s forces following a failed attempt to remove the general in October of 1993. The president stated that the U.S. will maintain a force in the region until the mission is completed, or a decision is made by himself or Congress to terminate the operation. He also took questions on the U.S. policy in Haiti and the effort to reinstate the government of President Aristide. close
