Only if the Bosnlans came to the table on a more equal footing would they compromise. Thats why I have cosponsored House Concurrent Resolution 24. It calls for a lifting of the arms embargo. It calls for strict enforcement of the nofly zone over Bosnia. And it also calls for the acceptance of Bosnian refugees into the United States. Why not? Was there ever a case where refugees were more clearly the result of political oppression? The novelist Arthur Koestler once wrote that "statistics dont bleed." In thinking about Americas response. we must remember people like Borislav Herak. A 21yearold Serb laborer from Sarajevo.
