I have been in the Congress just a bit over 5 years now. and what has impressed me is the breadth of issues we deal with and the number of troubles that we constantly are called to address. whether in this Nation or abroad. Some of them are heartbreaking. Right now of course we have the situation in Kosovo. with over half a million and perhaps as many as a million refugees within Kosovo and outside its borders. It is heartbreaking to watch these people. to meet them. to talk to them. We have had similar situations in Bosnia. where approximately 300.000 were killed in ethnic cleansing. in Haiti with the difficulties there: currently in the Sudan. with approximately 2 million people dead from either warfare or starvation and the situation getting worse.
