How effective will the turnover of security responsibility from the U.S.-led coalition to the United Nations be? Mr. President. the United States has done absolutely the right thing to provide for and. in effect. guarantee the survival of those Kurdish refugees. That is the message of our presence and our operations in establishing an adequate security zone in northern Iraq. and in our effort to convince the Kurdish people to come down from their mountain sanctuary and resume normal life in their towns and farms in northern Iraq. Our policy does not mean that we are going to dictate the politics or economics of that region. or that we are taking sides in traditional rivalries. or supporting claims of any kind by the various parties in the region.
