                 THE WEINBURGER USE-OF-FORCE PRINCIPLES

  (Mr. KASICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KASICH. Mr. Speaker, we should consider the Weinburger use-of-
force principles, as enunciated in a major speech from the Secretary: 
When it comes to the United States use of force, No. 1, the question 
is, is there a direct United States interest in going to Haiti? The 
President has not shown it.
  Is there an achievable goal? The President has not explained it.
  Is there an exit policy, a policy for leaving wherever we go with 
U.S. force? The President clearly has not shown it.
  And do the American people and does the Congress support the military 
action? Obviously the President has not rallied that support.
  If the President of the United States or any President of the United 
States cannot show a direct U.S. interest, demonstrate an achievable 
goal, clearly outline an exit policy, and rally the American people and 
the Congress to support that military action, it should not be 
undertaken.
  Mr. Speaker, we need a debate on this House floor.
