James Steinberg Quotations

I am here mostly to listen and understand the perspective of all the parties involved,

We're obviously very concerned about what we're seeing in terms of military movements by Serbia,

just needs to understand very clearly that if he continues to use massive repression against the people there, that NATO has authority to act.

I think it is very important that we all remain involved, ... It is a high priority for the president and all the parties and we are going to continue to work very hard at it.

We are delighted that President Clinton has agreed to address our convocation this spring. As our graduates begin their careers in public service, it is fitting that they gain the perspective of someone who has himself had such a long, distinguished public career.

Those are dramatic cases. Those are tragic cases.

This just shows you that we really need to put more resources on prevention. No matter how well we plan, you can't plan for everything. The big lesson is that there are limits to our response.
