Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from U. S. Participation in Somalia Peacekeeping: Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, October 19 and 20, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:06 a.m., in room SD-419, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Claiborne Pell (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Pell, Sarbanes, Kerry, Simon, Feingold, Helms, Lugar, Kassebaum, Pressler, Murkowski, Brown, Coverdell, and Gregg. The Chairman. The committee will come to order. We are holding this hearing today to look into the U.S. involvement in Somalia. I am very pleased to welcome Under Secretary of State Peter Tarnoff and Under Secretary of Defense Walter Slocombe to our committee to provide a detailed account of the administration´s policy on this issue. American forces have played a leading role in the successful U.N. effort to provide humanitarian relief to Somalia. However, U.S. involvement in UNOSOM II has been criticized for its emphasis on military action instead of diplomacy in attempting to establish a secure environment to ensure that starvation is not used once again as a weapon in the clan rivalries. Unnecessary confrontations with General Aideed cost the lives of many U.N. peacekeepers, including over 25 Americans. As we know, last week there was an extensive debate on this issue culminating in a Senate vote to withdraw our combat troops from Somalia by March 31, 1994, the date proposed by the President. Congress has demonstrated its grave concern about our involvement. Many questions remain concerning the perceived inconsistencies of our mission there and the events leading up to and including the October 3, 1993, raid which cost so many lives. I believe it is the responsibility of this committee to continue its public examination of this issue. There will be a hearing tomorrow with Madeleine Albright, our Ambassador to the U.N., and Ambassador Robert Oakley will be briefing our committee tomorrow afternoon as well. Actually, it will be this afternoon that he will be with us. I certainly look forward to hearing Mr. Tarnoff and Mr. Slocombe address these issues, and I would now turn to the ranking minority member. Senator Helms. And how are you this morning? The Chairman.
