Our colleague. Congressman DAVID OBEY. will offer a sensible amendment that provides a total of $11 billion in funding. Of this sum. funds that do not have to be authorized will go toward an immediate pay increase for the military. an increase in the operations and maintenance in Kosovo. and more importantly. $175 million more for the refugees of Kosovo. If Congressman OBEYs amendment is reasonable. sensible. and deserves the support of the majority of our colleagues. I would like to paraphrase a recent article in the New York Times. in closing. on this issue: This is nothing but Republican cowardice triumphing over pnnciple. dont vote for the war. dont take responsibility for the war. dont vote to stop the war. but vote to pump more money into a policy we dont like.
