ACCESSION NUMBER:290646 FILE ID:POL303 DATE:06/23/93 TITLE:WHITE HOUSE REPORT, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23 (06/23/93) TEXT:*93062303.POL WHITE HOUSE REPORT, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23 (Russia) (350) NEWS BRIEFING -- Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers discussed the following topic: SOME PROBLEMS NOTED IN RUSSIAN AID EFFORT Myers acknowledged "there are some problems with" the proposed $4,000 million fund to aid privatization of Russian enterprises. According to press reports, the Japanese foreign minister, terming the Clinton-inspired plan "a preposterous suggestion," said it should be scaled back to $500 million. Half the $4,000 million fund would come from international lending institutions, and half from the industrialized democracies which will be meeting in Tokyo next month. "We're still working on it," Myers said of the original package. "Obviously there are some problems with it....We'll have to see what we can do." Asked if President Clinton hoped to "patch something together" at the Economic Summit, Myers said, "I think that's something we're reviewing now," suggesting that other officials may be taking up the matter before Tokyo. On another matter affecting Russia, Myers told a questioner the administration is "concerned about reports there may be further violations" of the missile technology regime by Russian institutions, adding "it's something we're reviewing." She said she would investigate whether a New 1ork Times report can be confirmed alleging that Clinton has sent Russian President Yeltsin a letter threatening sanctions if the reports are correct. Officials of the Clinton and former Bush administrations have expressed concern about sales to China, Libya, Iran and India by Russian firms like Pavoks and Glavkosmos, the space organization. Most recently, 80 tons of ammonium perchlorate -- which can be used to make solid rocket fuel -- were intercepted en route from Pavoks to Libya. The chemical is on the restricted list of the Missile Technology Control Regime. News reports say some of the questionable deals are being brokered by Serbs seeking hard currency to circumvent the United Nations embargo on Serbia. According to The Times, other items that have caused concern in Washington include Flanker fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missiles and booster rockets. NNNN .
