Mr. Speaker. during my trip last spring to the Middle East I visited the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla. scene of the terrible massacres of September 1982 and scene also of squalor. poverty. and violence for decades. These places are called camps. but they are in fact slums. The health. safety. and future of the women and children who mainly live there are in both shortterm and longterm danger. Since my visit. all Lebanon has become once again a battleground. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article by Reporter Jane Mayer which explains how this persistent. this daily. this "normal" violence may be poisoning. forever. the ability of Lebanon to reestablish peace.
