On the recordJune 10, 1999
Let us speak of Kosovo today. We have achieved, our country has achieved, NATO has achieved a victory in the field of battle in the Balkans. The issues we debate today and the votes taken today will tell whether we keep that victory or whether we sour it or whether we throw ashes on it and tell those young men and young women who have been in harm's way that their efforts were for good or whether they were for naught. Mr. Chairman, never in the history of this country has a Congress voted to deprive America of a military victory in the field after it has been achieved. It is my sincere hope that this Congress today will not deprive America, will not deprive the NATO nations of a victory that it has achieved by placing young men and young women in harm's way.
