Political Quotes

On the recordApril 20, 1994
I wanted to publicly identify myself and appreciate the gentleman's courage and his willingness to be the conscience of this Congress on this issue. There are people being slaughtered and, at a minimum, we ought to lift the arms embargo. I was in Mostar earlier this year. They have been slaughtered there, and they had no arms. I just want to commend the gentleman. I would hope that this administration will listen. We are not going to send troops. We know that. At a minimum, we should lift the arms embargo. When we were going through the same problem back in 1976, the French came to our assistance and helped us. At a minimum, we should help the Croats and the Muslins who are fighting valiantly but without arms against the onslaught of the Serbs. I just want to commend the gentleman and thank him for his comments and his leadership.
