I will do more to address Indian concerns: Clinton

WASHINGTON, APRIL 14. The U.S. President, Mr. Bill Clinton, has promised to use his days in office and as well the post- Presidential years to do more to improve the lives of American Indians.

He told Indian donors to the Democratic senatorial campaign committee last night that starting next year - when ``he will have more time to work on fewer things'' - he would undertake projects relating to their economic development, health care and education.

``I believe in the potential of all people. I believe that intelligence is equally apportioned among all races, but opportunity isn't,'' Mr. Clinton told guests at a $10,000 -a-person dinner.

Mr. Clinton again apologised for earlier government policies that hurt Indians and caused the government to ``run from our own responsibility'' to improve their health and welfare.
