    Statement on House Action To Support Use of United States Armed Forces
    in Kosovo
    March 11, 1999

        I am pleased with the House vote which demonstrates the broad,
    bipartisan support for our efforts to bring peace to Kosovo. This vote
    sends a clear message to both parties that it is time now to sign an
    agreement that stops the fighting in Kosovo and creates real self-
    government for the Kosovar people. The vote confirms the strong
    commitment of the United States to continue our efforts to provide the
    leadership necessary to bring about a peaceful resolution to this
    conflict.
