There are steps we are taking and should take. As we all know. Secretary Baker is in the region now. exploring with Iraqs neighbors what steps are appropriate and realistic. and meeting with the Kurdish refugees. The United Nations has already passed one resolution. strongly condemning Saddams latest outrage. The weight of nearly unanimous international opinion. and the pressure of tough economic sanctions. must continue to be brought to bear on Iraq. And certainly. in my view. if we cannot get some satisfaction from Saddam Hussein I see no rush to lift the sanctions. We should also give serious consideration to the British proposal to establish refugee sanctuary zones. under U.N. auspices. within Iraq. Meanwhile. as long as the refugees remain in jeopardy of Saddams butchery. we should strongly urge Turkey and Iran to provide them temporary safehaven. and we should do all we can to make sure that the international community helps affected nations bear the burden of these large refugee populations. Mr. President. we won a great victory in the gulf war.
