Mr. President. this afternoon some of us had the honor of meeting with Dr. Sadako Ogata. the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Mrs. Ogata is the first woman and the first Japanese to hold this office. She was appointed 2 years ago and was plunged immediately into the desperate problems of the former Yugoslavia. Mrs. Ogata was one of the first to bring the term "ethnic cleansing" to public attention when she called for action to halt military sweeps aimed at expelling Moslem communities from their longtime homes. Last February. when both the Bosnian Moslems and Serbs obstructed food deliveries to remote regions.
