Air Pollution in Asia
An April 13 Public Announcement reads in part: "American citizens traveling to the island of Borneo, including Sarawak (Malaysia), East and West Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Brunei, should be aware that air pollution has reached 'unhealthy' to 'hazardous' levels, according to local air pollutant indexes and U.S. standards. Some schools in the region have been closed, and local airport operations have been affected. The low air-quality levels are due in part to smoke and particulates from forest and other fires in the region."
Asian Financial Crisis
In March 31 remarks on the Administration's emergency supplemental appropriations bill, Secretary Albright said: "[T]hese measures protect a host of U.S. interests. They contribute to our security and to a healthy global economy and they reflect our values. ... Timing does matter. If we wait and the financial crisis in Asia spreads or a new crisis begins, the impact on our interests would be severe and the costs of restoring stability far higher. ...."
