Budget battle compels Clinton to cancel 'uncancelable' Japan trip
WASHINGTON — Mired in a budget standoff, President Clinton canceled his trip to Japan yesterday and instructed Vice President Al Gore to take his place and work to smooth relations with the Japanese.
The Associated Press
With anti-American sentiment on the rise in Japan, the White House conceded the decision will have "enormous consequences throughout the region," but Clinton felt Americans would demand he stay home while the government is shut down.
"The president feels strongly he must be in the United States to respond to and, if necessary, veto any legislation
not in the interest of the American people," White House press secretary Mike McCurry said.
Before officially canceling the trip, Clinton said in a CBS News interview with Dan Rather, "If people who work for the federal government aren't working and the people who need the services of our government aren't getting them, it's going to be difficult for me to see my way through taking this trip."
With little hope of a quick settlement, Clinton did not want to be out of the country during the impasse. Republicans had demanded that he cancel the trip, and were sure to make a political issue out of his departure.
Worried that Japan would view the cancellation as a snub, McCurry conducted a rare evening briefing designed to make the morning news shows in Tokyo. "There will be enormous consequences throughout the region because of the president's decision and he knows that, and is troubled by that," McCurry said.
Japan, which had made elaborate preparations for Clinton's scheduled visit, tried to put a brave face on its cancellation.
"It's really regrettable that he can't make it," Murayama was quoted as saying by Japan's national broadcaster NHK. "But I suppose it can't be helped."
Administration officials said in recent
days that cancelling the trip was practically unthinkable. McCurry said Clinton changed his mind in the face of a "hardening of attitudes" by Republicans on the budget impasse.
Clinton had planned to meet with leaders of Asian-Pacific countries and address sore spots in the U.S.Japanese relationship. A major issue: rising anti-American sentiment over the rape of an Okinawan schoolgirl.
Gore will pick up much of Clinton's schedule, including meetings with Asian Pacific leaders if the nations vote to allow Gore to come, a diplomatic technicality the United States expects will be no problem.
