Mr. Speaker, is the President paying enough attention to what is happening overseas? He had better, or our involvement in Bosnia will become both more dangerous and more embarrassing. The lesson of Vietnam proven by its observance in Operation Desert Storm and once more proven in its breach in Somalia is that our military objectives must be clearly defined and our use of force must be sufficient to achieve those objectives. By turning control over to the United Nations, we place our soldiers' lives in danger and our national sovereignty at risk. Mr. Speaker, I urge the President to spend more than a brief moment on foreign policy in the days to come.
