Mr. Speaker. I rise today to discuss our Bosnia policy. In the past 4 years. nearly 250.000 people have been killed in that wartorn region. 2 million people have become refugees. Atrocities have been committed that have truly shocked the world. The region has been a tinder box for European instability for centuries. Thus the peace agreement agreed to by the Presidents of Bosnia. Croatia. and Serbia in Dayton. OH is indeed an historic step toward bringing peace and ultimate stability to this region. However. the deployment of over 20.000 United States troops to Bosnia to enforce the peace raises many questions.
