Q Mr. President, are you disappointed at the lack of consensus on
free trade at APEC?
THE PRESIDENT: I might have more to say about that before we go.
Don't be too discouraged.
Q How about the Florida court ruling, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm over here, so I'm not sure what it means. It's
obviously going to have to be interpreted now, since the two sides have a
different reading on it.
Q How about the Secretary of State denying the hand recount?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm over here doing this work; I don't think I should
get involved in that.
The American people deserve a full and fair count . And I hope the
process will produce it, and they're over there debating it in the
appropriate way. I shouldn't be involved in that.
Q Should Gore and Bush meet?
THE PRESIDENT: What?
Q Should Gore and Bush meet?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't think I should be involved in that.
