“First, good and decent human beings have arisen in the well of the House on both sides of this aisle, people whom I respect with a great sense of sincerity. Second, there have been a number of eloquent and articulate, compelling, and compassionate statements made during the course of this debate. Third, what should not be negotiable, debatable, or discussible is that all of us believe that the killing and the dying should end. The question before us is how to do it. And, second, does the action contemplated in the amendment before the body take us to that place? This amendment unilaterally, and I underscore for the purposes of emphasis, unilaterally, the United States would lift its participation in the arms embargo against Bosnia, and it would authorize up to $200 million in aid and the trainers to train Bosnian soldiers on using the equipment. So, all of us want to end the killing and the dying. This is unilateral lifting of the embargo. This is a complex issue.”
