Mr. President. during the recent spring recess. I took the opportunity to travel to Brussels. Belgium. to meet with NATO officials about the situation in Kosovo. Last week. I traveled to Macedonia in order to make a firsthand assessment of the refugee problem confronting that small nation. While in Brussels. I received an assessment of the ongoing military campaign against Yugoslav military and security forces and strategic installations from Gen. Wesley Clark. commander of our NATO forces. I also discussed NATOs objectives with respect to Kosovo and the more than 600.000 Kosovars now displaced with NATO Secretary General Javier Solana.
