Office of the Press Secretary
(Camp David Maryland)


STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT ON THE TERRORIST BOMBING IN TEL AVIV

I condemn in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist attack in Tel
Aviv this Sabbath evening. There is no justification for senseless
attacks against innocent civilians. This illustrates the urgent need
for an immediate, unconditional cessation of violence. I call upon
Chairman Arafat to condemn this act and to call for an immediate
cease-fire. My deepest condolences and those of the American people go
out to the victims and their families.
