Mrs. Ogata has already called for an additional $700 million in supplemental aid to meet the needs of the Bosnian people through the winter months. Despite limited U.S. refugee resources. I strongly urge the administration to provide a fair U.S. share to meet the request of Mrs. Ogata. including drawing on the emergency migration and refugee assistance account. which we fully funded in the foreign aid bill signed into law on September 30. This problem needs immediate and full attention of the United Nations. The longer relief is delayed or obstructed. the worse the situation for the refugees becomes. The United States. together with our allies. has a humanitarian responsibility to not let a Somalia or Sudan happen in Bosnia. We must not hesitate. nor falter in our attempts to prevent mass deaths through starvation and exposure.
