Speaker. I rise before you today to appraise the Members of this House about the dire situation that continues to rage in the Kurdish occupied areas of the northern Iraq. There continues to be nearly a million refugees stranded in the peaks of the treacherous Iraqi/Turkish border with the very real fear that death is what they face if they return to their homes. It is only the continued presence of the United Nations and overflights by our American planes. that has kept the Iraqi Army at bay and allowed these people a slight measure of security and safety. However. a deadline Is looming.
