I agree with his comment that no legislative strategy is going to be able to solve the problem. And I agree with his conclusion that we need an executive strategy. I think the issue has been joined on the floor of the U.S. Senate. I was in the chair at 9 o'clock this morning, and I listened to the Senator from Colorado. He was eloquent, forceful, and compassionate, and I felt he had a real element of truth underlying his statements. I think that has been added to by the distinguished chairman of the Armed Services Committee as he indicated his concerns. It might be helpful just to take a look at what has happened today in Gorazde. Scorning the United States' tough talk, Bosnian Serb forces shelled a hospital annex and Red Cross refugee center in besieged Gorazde on Thursday. Dozens of people were reported killed.
