Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 22, 1994
United States policy toward Bosnia is working, and it is about time the President and Secretary of State got some credit. Mr. Speaker, last week, under the strong and forceful leadership of President Clinton, we saw joint action by the allies, the United Nations, and NATO, successfully push for the pullback of Bosnian Serb armaments from around Sarajevo. Today the talk is of the future and efforts to bring life back to that city. On another front, the Clinton-Christopher team also scored. For far too long, North Korea has resisted international inspections of its nuclear sites. Last week, following resolute action by the United States, the North Koreans agreed to inspections. Mr. Speaker, these two breakthroughs show the skill and ability of this administration on the world stage. The problems and challenges are numerous but the President deserves praise for his recent successes.
