...What happens some day when [what he calls] the German-Muslim lobby on Capitol Hill says let's reimpose sanctions?' Milosevic is dug in on reimposition, and so are we." Milosevic wants reimposition to be in the hands of the Security Council, where the U.S. is sure a Russian veto would scuttle a renewal of the embargo should that become necessary. The Clinton Administration wants to preserve as much unilateral control over the reimposition process as possible and envisages suspension of the embargo in stages, one of which would be Bosnian Serb acceptance of the Contact Group peace plan...
Then last March, the U.S. State Department accused the government of Colombian President Ernesto Samper Pizano of lacking the political will to go after Cali's bosses.

In other budget matters, a $16.4 billion package of cuts in the current year's budget-originally vetoed by the President but since modified by Republicans to obtain his support-was stalled just before the July...
...federal family-planning money to provide abortion counseling. Antiabortion legislators will also attempt to restore a series of prohibitions that Clinton overturned in his first week in office--among them, bans on fetal-tissue research and importation of RU-486, the French abortion-inducing drug. Clinton vetoes are expected, but, says Reed, some of the legislation is meant to be "veto bait," couched in relatively reasonable terms to give the impression that Clinton's abortion stance is radical...
