On the recordJune 7, 1995
We all share the concern about the Bosnia situation. Tomorrow afternoon we will be having a hearing on Bosnia in the Committee on International Relations. I discussed the Bosnia amendment with the gentleman from Maryland [Mr. Hoyer]. We talked about trying to have sufficient time to properly debate that measure on a single standing bill rather than to take it up as part of this in a very short and limited period of time. I assured Mr. Hoyer that I would try to work with him in bringing that measure to the floor at an early date following the consideration of this measure.
