“I express gratitude to the gentleman from Mississippi for his kindness. Secondly, I express admiration to him for his consistency. Though we disagree on the policy in Kosovo, I note that the gentleman and one other Member of our body had the courage of his convictions to recognize that what was happening was war and to so vote when I brought a resolution to the House floor on April 28. I admire him for that. I have so said so publicly and I repeat it today. I wish to be clear, and I ask the gentleman from Mississippi if he would be so kind as to make it clear that the purpose of his unanimous consent to remove clauses 2 and 3 in his amendment is to prevent any possible implication of relevance to the pending litigation one way or the other, which I commenced with other Members of the Congress regarding the legality of this war.”
