The spoils from a joint military campaign to expel the Bosnian Serb nation would be allocated mainly to a Muslim entity, which would then accept its lot as a satellite of Greater Croatia.

Gerald Solomon, chairman of the House Rules Committee. While Senator Phil Gramm, a presidential hopeful, vowed to bring the American troops home in his first act as President, Republican leaders Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole both declined to revisit the question of American presence in Bosnia. "We can't cut and run when the first tragic thing happens," said Dole...
