                  SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC MUST NOT SUCCEED

  (Mr. OLVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLVER. Madam Speaker, the United States is right to take forceful 
leadership to stop the systematic destruction of homes and villages and 
the slaughter of civilians in Kosova that has been ordered by Slobodan 
Milosevic, the Communist dictator of rump Yugoslavia. But in that 
process the United States must not be party to one last sellout of the 
human rights of the people of Kosova in this 20th century.
  Milosevic, who supervised the killing of hundreds of thousands of 
Croats and Bosnians and the creation of at least two million refugees 
by his attacks on two other United Nations members will now brazenly 
plead to that very United Nations his right to utterly subjugate or, if 
not, to kill or drive into exile the two million Kosovars who make up 
90 percent of the population of Kosova.
  Milosevic must not succeed. The time has come for the United States 
to forcefully and unequivocally promote the ultimate right of self 
determination of the people of Kosova so they may live in peace and 
freedom in the 21st Century.
