                                 KOSOVO

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, first I will discuss an issue that is 
going to come before the Senate either late this week or next week. I 
am not sure. That is the issue of Kosovo. I believe it is important we 
address the issue. I believe it is important we address the issue as we 
have previous foreign policy issues.
  In the case of our resolution supporting United States involvement in 
Bosnia, we had a Dole resolution and we had a couple of others that 
were voted on. In the case of the Persian Gulf resolution, we had a 
resolution that was proposed by then-Senator Dole, who was then the 
minority leader, and one that was proposed by Senator Mitchell. I hope 
we will proceed in a fashion where more than one resolution is 
considered and voted on at the time. That is our responsibility, and I 
hope we intend to do it.
  I strongly urge the majority leader to accept a vote on a resolution 
that I have already introduced.
