                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 Concerning the deployment of United States Armed Forces to the Kosovo 
                         region in Yugoslavia.

Whereas the United States and its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization are conducting large-scale military operations against the 
        Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); and
Whereas the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) has refused 
        to comply with NATO demands that it withdraw its military, paramilitary 
        and security forces from the province of Kosovo, allow the return of 
        ethnic Albanian refugees to their homes, and permit the establishment of 
        a NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the President is 
authorized to use all necessary force and other means, in concert with 
United States allies, to accomplish United States and North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization objectives in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 
(Serbia and Montenegro).
