Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from U. S. Policy in Somalia: Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, July 29, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:02 a.m., in room SD - 419, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Claiborne Pell (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Pell, Sarbanes, Dodd, Simon, Mathews, Kassebaum, Pressler, Jeffords, Coverdell, and Gregg. The Chairman. The Committee on Foreign Relations will come to order. We are holding this hearing today to examine the involvement of U.N. peacekeepers in Somalia. U.S. forces have been playing a leading role in this effort, and this is now a critical juncture for U.S. policy toward that embattled country. I am very pleased indeed to welcome Under Secretary of State Peter Tarnoft, and I believe Lieutenant Greneral Sheehan will be joining us as well. I would like especially to hear their judgments on the current and anticipated role of U.S. forces within the larger peacekeeping operation. There has been a good deal of debate in the Senate recently regarding the circumstances under which our forces should be participating in this U.N. campaign. Therefore, it must be made clear to this body and to the American people what direction the UNOSOM II operation is going to take. I continue to support U.S. involvement in helping to ensure a secure environment for the provision of humanitarian relief, but questions remain as to whether a short run military action would really address the broader issues which keep Somalia a potentially destabilizing force in the Horn of Africa. Like many of my colleagues, I want to be sure that if we move beyond the humanitarian missions, we do so with the knowledge and concurrence of the Congress. I certainly look forward to hearing Mr. Tarnoff and General Sheehan address these views, which I welcome. But I would also take this occasion to remind my colleagues that as soon as we have a quorum of 11 members we will break for a business meeting to vote on a long list of nominees, including that of Vice President Mondale. In this connection, I would hope that we could vote around 10:30 a.m., so I would ask the staff here to try to get the Senators here as soon as possible. Finally, I would like to remind members of the committee of the luncheon today with Mr. Annan, the U.N. Secretary General for Peacekeeping.
