Mr. Chairman. I rise in strong support of H.R. 1664. making emergency supplemental appropriations for military operations. refugee relief. and humanitarian assistance relating to the conflict in Kosovo. I urge my colleagues to support this important legislation to respond to current defense shortfalls. However. I would also like to take this opportunity to highlight a few of my concerns about the bill. U.S. forces are in harms way. This is the case no matter what your position was on the debate regarding the Kosovo policy resolutions last week. Therefore. it is imperative for the Congress to stand united in support of this important bill.
