On the recordJune 10, 1999
we won the war. Now we must win the peace. We led NATO into that war in order for us to end the atrocities over in Kosovo and now we must be part of NATO to ensure that peace is there and that it will stick. Not only do the Republican amendments today undermine our efforts in Kosovo but the underlining provisions of this bill without the Skelton amendment make it nearly impossible to effectively implement the peace agreement because it cuts off the funds on September 30. Every major newspaper in the world has a peace agreement on the front page of every major newspaper. Why can our friends on the Republican side not read what is on the front page of every major newspaper in the world and declare that we have peace and we have the responsibility to be part of making sure that peace works.
