Mr. President. I commend the Senator from Connecticut on both his amendment and what he has said. As I told him earlier in a private conversation. I visited one of the Kurdish refugee camps at the very end of the Persian Gulf war. I was appalled at what I saw. That was one of the better refugee camps. Details were horrendous. from what we heard. There is no question as told by some of the people who were there. They were tales really of genocide. genocide against the people. whole families wiped out. villages. communities The history of the village. the community and the people wiped out.
