They need and they deserve the very finest equipment our nation can musterthe type of equipment the Presidents original request will pay for. In capitals across Europe. our allies are listening and looking to the United States for leadership. They want to know whether the United States will maintain its commitment to NATO and to this important operation. In refugee camps in Albania. Macedonia. Montenegro and elsewhere. hundreds of thousands of Milosevics innocent victims are listening. hoping that we will reaffirm our commitment to them.
