                    WHEN ARE THE TROOPS COMING HOME?

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, I support our troops in Haiti. I am glad that 
they were able to go ashore in a friendly atmosphere. And I have full 
confidence in their ability to get the job done.
  But, Mr. Speaker, I am worried that our troops are in Haiti 
indefinitely. There is no time certain for their withdrawal. I am 
afraid that we have entered into a mission with no end. President 
Clinton needs to articulate an exit strategy and set a specific date 
for our troops to return safely to the United States.
  You would think that President Clinton would have learned from his 
own experience with the Vietnam war and the disastrous result in 
Somalia that open-ended missions only lead us further into conflict.
  How and when American troops will come home--there will be real 
uneasiness about his Haitian policy.
