Reporter: It is accurate that the president does want to go to Vietnam before the end of this term, isn't it?"

Lockhart: "I would not disagree with that, but I'm not sure I can name a country in the world that wouldn't also fit that bill."

- From an exchange between reporters and White House press secretary Joe Lockhart during questioning last week about a potential visit to Vietnam by President Clinton.
