On the recordJanuary 11, 1994
But I believe, based on what several of them said to me privately, they are more prepared to deal with this than they were in August. That is, Secretary General Woerner and I both said, ``Let us not put this language back in unless we mean it. Let us clearly understand that we must mean it if we put it in this time.'' And they voted unanimously to put it in. And afterward several of them came to me privately and said, ``Of course, we have reservations about what happens to our troops, but we have reservations about what happens to our troops under the status quo, and we are prepared to go forward with this.''
