                     THE PRESIDENT'S FOREIGN POLICY

  (Mr. FUNDERBURK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FUNDERBURK. Mr. Speaker, in order to judge Bill Clinton's policy 
in Bosnia, remember this President's track record.
  First, he has opposed every legitimate use of American power for the 
last 30 years. When we deployed American troops to protect our national 
security interests, one thing was certain, Bill Clinton opposed it. He 
opposed it in Grenada, Panama, and the Persian Gulf.
  Second, he turned over direction of our foreign affairs to the whims 
of the United Nations high command. He turned a humanitarian mission in 
Somalia into a $2 billion nightmare and wasted the lives of our finest 
soldiers in pursuit of something called nation building.
  He then turned his attention to Haiti and used American troops to 
restore Aristide to power. Well, Aristide says he wants to stay in 
power and we have spent about $3 billion making Haiti a

virtual province of the United States. And the White House calls that a 
foreign policy triumph.
  So, Mr. Speaker, the next time you are asked about Bosnia, take a 
look at where Bill Clinton has been and if that does not frighten you I 
do not know what will.
