                               RESOLUTION


 
 Urging the President to withdraw all United States Armed Forces from 
                                Somalia.

Whereas United States Armed Forces made significant contributions to the United 
        States-led force in Somalia under Operation Restore Hope which 
        established a secure environment for the conduct of humanitarian relief 
        operations in Somalia;
Whereas over 25,000 United States troops were deployed under Operation Restore 
        Hope and several of such troops lost their lives;
Whereas, although originally projected to cost only $200,000,000 to 
        $300,000,000, the United States incurred nearly $800,000,0000 in costs 
        in connection with Operation Restore Hope;
Whereas on May 4, 1993 the United Nations assumed control of peacekeeping 
        operations in Somalia from the United States;
Whereas more than 4,000 American troops remain in Somalia and the deployment of 
        such troops incurs additional costs each and every day to the United 
        States; and
Whereas the United States is courting potential disaster in Somalia with 
        American troops being fired upon and suffering numerous casualties: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the President should withdraw all United States Armed Forces from 
Somalia.
