Mr. Speaker, NATO is responsible for peace in member countries. The case of Kosovo, as it was with Bosnia, is very dangerous to the maintenance of peace in that part of the world.
What is happening in Kosovo is a little like what happened in Bosnia. We went there as peacekeepers. At one time there was some bombing to break the resolve of President Milosevic. That led to the Dayton agreement. After that we sent some troops as peacekeepers. Our goal is to stop the ethnic cleansing going on today and to be in a position to send peacekeepers into that area so the people can live their normal lives in Kosovo.
