On the recordJune 26, 2000
I do not necessarily endorse any individual peacekeeping operation. I do not believe that is my role. But when the committee says and the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers) says that, no matter what happens in the world, that the United States, a year in advance, will declare that it will not provide more than $500 million for peacekeeping arrangements no matter what happens, then I have to say the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers) reminds me of King Canute, the famous king who looked at the tide and said, ``Thou shalt not rise.'' I say ``good luck'' to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers). I am glad he is prescient enough to see ahead of time what our national needs are. I think everybody else in this Chamber is somewhat more humble about our ability to see the future.
