US Policy On Ireland

Sir, - Not surprisingly Steven King got it all wrong once again (Opinion, December 7th)

Sir, - Not surprisingly Steven King got it all wrong once again (Opinion, December 7th). Contrary to his assertion , I never called on George Bush to concede in Florida. Nor did I ever suggest it in any way. Indeed, I have been constantly on television defending Governor Bush.

More importantly, of course, Mr King was even more wrong when he suggested that US interest in the Irish peace process would end with President Clinton. As the Republican platform made clear, the Clinton Irish policy has been made a permanent part of American foreign policy. And Stephen King will just have to get used to it. - Yours, etc.,

Congressman Peter King, Washington DC, USA.
