President. this is an important time with a lot of very serious matters before the Senate. Obviously. we are going to be working on the budget resolution. But also. we are very much concerned about what is happening in the Balkans. we are concerned about what is happening in Kosovo. we are concerned about the impact that that is having in Macedonia and the Montenegro area. as well as countries that are not as directly impacted from a standpoint of refugees. but the impact on Albania. which obviously is housing a number of refugees. and even countries such as Romania are being affected by what we see happening there. I think it is important that we work together in a bipartisan way to express our support for our troops. to express our support and appreciation for countries that are dealing with this influx of refugees and providing haven and humanitarian assistance working with international organizations. with military representation that has been trying to deal with this tremendous influx of refugees. We are going to work over the next 24 hours to see if we can come together with an agreement on a bipartisan resolution expressing our appreciation and recognition for the outstanding work that is being done by our men and women of the military. by all the organizations that are helping with the refugees and for the countries that are dealing with a tremendous burden right now. But I think we should begin here at home also.
