The problem is not one of resources. though the scale of needs could eventually cause shortages. but at least as of now. the problem is access. Reports I am receiving indicate that both Serbian and Croatian regular and irregular forces are impeding or in some cases actually blockading relief supplies. There are signs that major fighting could once again break out between Croats and Serbs. Deliberate starvation could become a weapon of war. An article in todays Washington Post. which I would ask to include at the end of my remarks. states that Mrs. Ogata. the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. has brokered an agreement between the Bosnian factions to allow free passage throughout the wartorn country. I congratulate Mrs. Ogata for this breakthrough.
