Chairman. I wish to thank the chairman of the subcommittee and rise in strong support of the legislation before us. Through the efforts of Chairman BERMAN and Chairman HAMILTON and their staffs. the report contains language on the plight of some 3 million refugees in former Yugoslavia. The provisions of this language have a couple of facets. First. it provides for a documentation mechanism for refugees and a further accounting mechanism for threatened populations. These are the kinds of steps that are needed if our resolutions on right of return and the prosecution of war crimes are to have any practical meaning in a disorderly world. The message this provision sends is straightforward.
