This could be the last best hope for peace in Ireland. Let us get behind a course for peace and let us get away from the British policy and the outdated policies of repression and oppression. I would just say also parentheticallyand this again is not a partisan issue because no one is more critical of the Republican administrations than I have beenbut I must say that I would ask President Clinton to reverse his policy of denying a visa to Jerry Adams. If Yassir Arafat can stand on the south lawn of the White House. certainly Jerry Adams should be allowed in this country to explain his position. to explain to the American people why he and John Hume have a plan and a formula for peace and why with all the parties in Ireland. Catholic and Protestant alike. north and south. why if they come to the table peace will be at hand.
