    Statement on House Action on Foreign Affairs Legislation
    June 8, 1995

        This bill (H.R. 1561) would take us in an isolationist direction at
    a time when America is ready to lead in the world. I am gratified that
    argument was persuasive to enough Members of the House to sustain a
    possible veto.
        We are particularly concerned about the vote to lift unilaterally
    the arms embargo in Bosnia. As we have said, we believe this is
    counterproductive to our efforts to bring about a negotiated settlement.
