President George W. Bush’s comments on decisions being made with the help of the Secretary of Defense: “I’ve got a lot of national security concerns that we’re working on — Iraq; Macedonia, very worrisome right now. Kind of a blowup last night and yesterday it looked like we had a peaceful resolution; it’s now in doubt. Urge all — we’re urging all the parties to get back to the table and renounce the violence.  The Secretary of Defense and I are working on some projects. There will be some announcements.”
