Earlier in the week, President Clinton had congratulated all Muslims on Eid-El-Fitr, saying this was an occasion for delight and pleasure, and made a call for everyone to work together for the realization of a better future and peace among the nations of the world. Such a goal, said President Clinton, can only be realized through sincerity, self-confidence, determination, and cooperation with all, adding that he prayed Almighty God to bestow on all, the bounty of health and prosperity, this year and in all the years to come.
