I am disappointed that. in the House of Representatives. we have not had the opportunity to consider initiatives to compel the administration to extract such a commitment from our allies. Furthermore. I see little in the peace accord to address the monumental problem of the nearly 3 million refugees who have been displaced from their homes. While the agreement calls for these people to return to their homes and villages In territories controlled by former enemies. it provides no guarantees of security for them. If the Bosnlans. Serbs. and Croats cannot return to their homes with assurances of safety. it Is a virtual certainty that they will remain refugees. with all the attendant problems such a massive population displacement will cause. It could easily lead to a situation similar to that which has plagued Israel and Palestine for over 40 years. Despite my reservations about the wisdom of the Presidents decision to deploy United States forces to Bosnia. now that the decision to deploy them has been made.
