On the recordMay 3, 1999
What the President said is he is confident we will prevail through airpower, and he says, ``I can assure you that'' if we needed ground forces he would ``fully consult with the Congress'' before he would introduce ground forces into what he called a nonpermissive environment. So, I support what we are doing now. I also want to comment on the remarks of one of our colleagues, who said, why don't we stop horrible things from happening in other parts of the world? I do not subscribe to the theory that if you cannot stop all evil stop no evil. I think you stop it where you can. In this case, because of the President's leadership, there are 19 nations united. This is a mission of NATO. We can stop this evil and we should stop this evil. Let me remark on some of the human rights abuses that are being reported by Human Rights Watch. They conducted 19 separate interviews, which showed that 100 men were summarily executed in the town of Meja on April 27.
