                           GENOCIDE IN BOSNIA

  (Mr. OLVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLVER. Mr. Speaker, for 2 years now the genocide in Bosnia has 
continued. The whole world has watched dumbstruck as CNN, Headline 
News, ABC, CBS, and NBC have brought the bloody pictures to us of more 
than 200,000 people who have been slaughtered by Serbian Socialists 
simply because of their religion; more than 2 million refugees because 
of their religion who have now been scattered all over Europe; 
hospitals in Sarajevo bursting with civilians bombarded in food lines 
and water lines; extended families from babes in arms to 80-year-olds 
lined up and slaughtered because of their religion; children 
slaughtered in Sarajevo playing soccer.
  Mr. Speaker, the appeasement of Belgrade by the United Nations, the 
European Community, and NATO has failed. It has utterly failed.
  There is no need to urgently investigate who the bombardiers are. Mr. 
Perry, Mr. Lake, Mr. Shalikashvili know, everyone in the United 
Nations, the EC, and NATO knows every incident of deliberate 
bombardment of Sarajevo civilians has been Serbian bombardment.
  There is no honor whatsoever in treating the aggressors and the 
victims as if they were identical. The killing in Bosnia will end when 
the Serbs realize they will not be allowed to continue it.
  Mr. President, it is time to do what is right; stop the genocide in 
Bosnia.
