Before our troops are sent to Bosnia. we should know definitively how we plan to proceed on this issue. Mr. President. Balkan history has been a source of my skepticism about sending troops to Bosnia. I have spent long years of service in Europe: first as a Coast Guard lieutenant based in Sicily during World War II. then as a Foreign Service officer in Prague. Bratislava. and Genoa as the Iron Curtain was drawn between East!and West. and as an official with the International Rescue Committee working in Vienna with refugees fleeing Hungarys Communist regime. Because of my experience. I am deeply and personally conscious of how important Europes freedom and stability is to the United States.
