                   DUMA-CONGRESS PEACE PLAN ON KOSOVO

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Biggert). Under a previous order of the 
House, the gentleman from Hawaii (Mr. Abercrombie) is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. ABERCROMBIE. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania.
  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. I thank my colleague and friend for 
yielding.
  I would just say that we could have gone that route. We could have 
gone into Belgrade. We could have done that as other people have done 
and as people are doing right now. Jesse Jackson, I understand, is over 
there right now without the support of this government. We did not do 
that. We chose the constructive route. We will continue that route.
  I just want to say in closing, I want to thank my friend and 
colleague for his effort, because he has received criticism on his side 
as I have on mine. In the end we know we are doing the right thing.
