But if our intelligence and other means of verification concludes that he is taking military advantage of such a pause by doing any of these things. we should resume the bombing. I believe. however. that we need to take this first step. a gesture. in order to move diplomacy forward and bring these horrors to an end. Let me conclude by saying that as a Senator I have been so impressed by the heroic efforts of nongovernmental organizations to bring humanitarian supplies by convoy to hundreds of thousands of homeless and starving misplaced refugees still wandering in the mountains of Kosovo. I believe a pause might very well serve their interests. It might enable these aid organizations and other neutrals in the conflict to more easily airlift or truck in and then distribute relief supplies to them without the threat of their humanitarian mission being halted by the Serbian military.
