Mr. President. her elderly father in a wheelbarrow. And the first paragraph reads. "Bedraggled. hungry and scared. thousands of Bosnian Muslims flooded into a swelling makeshift refugee camp with little food. water or medicine today after a harrowing journey into Muslimheld territory from the fallen town of Srebrenica. now occupied by Bosnian Serbs reveling in their victory." Mr. President. another article in the Washington Post is headlined. "Serbs Start Expelling Muslim Civilians From Seized U.N. Conclave." with pictures of women and children herded into refugee camps. Mr. President. these pictures send chills down my spine. I am the son of a Jewish immigrant born in Odessa in the Ukraine who lived in Siberia in Russia. I am an American Jew. and these pictures send chills down my spine. along with the reports that the Serbs are taking all young men. boys 16 years of age. away from their families. I do not know where they are taking them to.
