On January 20 of this year when President Clinton was sworn in. there were 28.000 American troops there. but by spring we had stopped the starvation in this country. But going back to President Bushs original mandate. there was no securing of the environment. In July of this year I went to the Horn of Africa. First I went to Mombasa and Kenya and visited a refugee camp there of 45.000 Somalians. To the person. they came to us and said. "We cannot return to Somalia until civil order has been restored and the clans have been neutralized." I then went to Mogadishu. I met with our military general there.
