Cord Byrd: “No. It states specifically that the President, the Commander in Chief, shall submit to the Congress the plan by February…”

On the recordJune 24, 1998
No. It states specifically that the President, the Commander in Chief, shall submit to the Congress the plan by February 2, 1999, which will bring the force levels of the United States in Bosnia down to a certain number which is more in keeping with the numbers that are provided by Germany, France, Italy and Great Britain. Is there anything unfair about that? We don't say it has to be 2,000, or 2,500, or anything like that.
