Speech #1060011188

Milosevic signed agreements in regard to Kosovo and because there were no enforcement provisions there has violated every provision of those agreements signed only four months or so ago. All told. at least 2.000 have been indiscriminately killed. men. women. aged. children. baby in arms and in the womb and at least 400.000 driven from their homes. For all those reasons. the contact powers have agreed to a NATO effort to establish an enforceable peace in Kosovo. and if this NATO effort is subverted. and the amendment by the gentlewoman from Florida clearly subverts the effort to impose a peace in Kosovo. then later this spring this Congress will have contributed to the creation of hundreds of thousands of more refugees and to the deaths of a whole new cadre of victims of the national socialist regime of Slobodan Milosevic. Milosevics righthand deputy. President Seselj. has already told the Yugoslav parliament that they will drive all of the ethnic Albanians. citizens of Yugoslavia. from Kosovo. I implore this Congress not to make this great United States of America complicit. complicit in these deaths. and creating these refugees and in aiding in Milosevics brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing.
