       (1) Termination.--The President shall terminate the United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina no later than November 15, 1994 so that

     in paragraph (1) pursuant to request described in paragraph 
     (1) pursuant to which approval is denied for transfers of 
     defense articles and defense services to the former

       (3) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     interpreted as authorization for deployment of United States 
     forces in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina for any
