I rise to comment on the present situation in Bosnia. the small Balkan country which is the scene of a military commitment involving thousands of American military personnel. a significant slice of our military forces. and the logistics and intelligence which support them. Our military led the way into Bosnia as the NATO alliance took on the role of overseeing the security aspects of the Dayton accords. Our soldiers and other NATO forces have prevented a recurrence of war and they have provided a security umbrella beneath which Bosnian refugees could have returned to their homes and Bosnia could have resumed normal lifeif the leaders of the Bosnian factions had permitted it. Unfortunately. these leaders retain office and retain their access to public money through policies of ethnic division and hostility. not policies of reconciliation. Consequently there has been little progress in achieving the political goals of the Dayton accords.
