Clinton to give farewell address to nation
US president Bill Clinton will say goodbye to America in a brief speech on Thursday night, the White House has said.
The administration has asked the main US television networks to carry the five-to-eight-minute speech, White House press secretary Jake Siewert said.
‘‘He wants to thank the American people for their support over the years and talk a bit about all the good work we have done to change America for the better,’’ Siewert said. ‘‘He wants to say goodbye to the American people.’’
Spokesmen in Washington for the CBS and ABC television networks said no decision had been made about carrying the President’s speech.
