PRESIDENT CLINTON'S FOREIGN POLICY SUCCESSES
(Mr. RICHARDSON asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, United States policy toward Bosnia is
working, and it is about time the President and Secretary of State got
some credit.
Mr. Speaker, last week, under the strong and forceful leadership of
President Clinton, we saw joint action by the allies, the United
Nations, and NATO, successfully push for the pullback of Bosnian Serb
armaments from around Sarajevo. Today the talk is of the future and
efforts to bring life back to that city.
On another front, the Clinton-Christopher team also scored. For far
too long, North Korea has resisted international inspections of its
nuclear sites. Last week, following resolute action by the United
States, the North Koreans agreed to inspections.
Mr. Speaker, these two breakthroughs show the skill and ability of
this administration on the world stage. The problems and challenges are
numerous but the President deserves praise for his recent successes.
