     HALT THE BOMBINGS IN YUGOSLAVIA FOR CHANCE AT DIPLOMATIC PEACE

  (Mr. WHITFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, how long must the bombings of Yugoslavia 
continue? NATO has dropped over 15,000 bombs on the country of 
Yugoslavia and is causing the same pain and suffering as caused by Mr. 
Milosovic.
  Hundreds of innocent civilians, men, women, and children have been 
killed. The infrastructure of the country is being destroyed. People 
are losing jobs, homes, and educational opportunities. In order to 
strengthen the chance for a diplomatic peace, the bombings of 
Yugoslavia should be halted.
