Mr. Speaker. I come before the body today fully in support and resolved with respect to 49059 095 Vol. 137 Pt. 8)13 the use of United States military forces to provide relief and protection to the Iraqi Kurds and other refugees fleeing the repression of Saddam Hussein. Especially gratifying was the decision to move American forces into position to protect the routes and temporary sites used by the refugees. I believe that Americans of all political persuasions share this view. and commend the action of the President and the administration to forestall death and suffering on a scale so huge as Lo be scarcely comprehensible. I think the action of the Congress in providing funding for this shows that we are a caring people and that our hearts are gladdened by the sight of American troops delivering food. ministering to the sick. erecting shelter. and deploying troops to shield an entire people in mortal distress.
