Senate Bosnia Vote

The Senate, bowing to White House wishes for policy leeway, passed a nonbinding resolution seeking withdrawal of US troops from Bosnia by 30 June 1998. The House has voted to force a pullout by cutting off funds on that date. The issue has taken on new urgency in light of NATO's apparent new toughness on seizing Balkans war-crimes suspects.
