It is as if Begin and Sadat were at Camp David. and the weekend that they are negotiating a peace agreement. the Congress passes an initiative saying. "No matter what you do. we are not going to support you." We never did that under Presidents Reagan and Bush. yet precisely 1 day before a potential peace agreement. we are taking this action. If I were Milosevic. Izetbegovic or Tudjman. I would say. "What gives? Is the United States behind us?" Mr. Speaker. this is irresponsible. It is a destructive amendment. We should vote it down on a bipartisan basis. There is a lot to be determined in these peace talks. The status of Sarajevo. the composition of the government. access to the sea for landlocked Bosnians. the width of the corridor connecting Serbheld territories. the removal of the leadership of Milosevic and Karadzic. possibly training the Bosnians. refugees. and a massive number of human rights issues. Mr. Speaker.
