Bob Dole: “prior to consideration of the State Department authorization bill, I introduced the Peace Powers Act, together with 12…”

On the recordFebruary 2, 1994
prior to consideration of the State Department authorization bill, I introduced the Peace Powers Act, together with 12 of my colleagues, to bring greater accountability, oversight, and U.S. interests into the peacekeeping decision-making process. My amendment to the State Department authorization bill was based largely on the Peace Powers Act with the exception of the foreign command issue, which I decided to defer. Although the Mitchell substitute to my amendment was adopted by the Senate, I am pleased that the Senate also adopted the majority of the provisions in my original amendment--12 out of 15 sections--in a series of amendments to S. 1281.
