The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 247, the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett) and a Member opposed will each
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett).
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute.
Mr. Chairman, since 1990, over $1 billion in frozen Iraqi assets
sitting in American banks have been available to satisfy the just
claims of American citizens. But almost a decade later, this Congress
has still not approved legislation that would let Americans collect.
This amendment would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to vest
this Iraqi money in an account known as the Iraqi Claims Fund and
authorize the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission to begin the process
of resolving these claims against that Iraqi money with just one
stipulation: The first claims to be resolved should be those of our
Desert Storm and Desert Shield veterans, many of whom have been plagued
with all the physical ailments that are referred to as Gulf War
Syndrome.
Mr. Chairman, these men and women gave their all against an enemy of
the United States, and now these brave veterans deserve nothing less
from the government of the United States.
The House has already gone on record twice to support this objective.
In 1994, by a vote of 398 to 5, in support of a similar provision in a
State Department bill, and in 1997, in support of my motion to instruct
conferees to reject an outrageous Senate provision in the State
Department authorization bill by a vote of 412 to 5, we stood up at
those times and declared that the men and women who put their lives on
the line for our country are second to no one. Now we must do so again.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr.
Skelton), the distinguished ranking member on the Committee on Armed
Services.
Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this
time and allowing me to speak on this very important issue.
What we do today on this amendment not only draws a lot of attention
but it sends a sincere and straigthforward message to those young men
and young women who today find themselves in uniform defending the
interests of the United States of America.
The money is there, Mr. Chairman. The fund is there. What is wrong
with following the precedent that we have already set by voting in this
House to allow that trust fund to be created from the Iraqi funds in
order to take care of those young men and young women who might well be
suffering from the Gulf War Syndrome?
Saddam Hussein, the country of Iraqi, did very, very wrong, and the
Americans righted that wrong by getting them out of Kuwait. But in the
process, those young men and young women, those veterans of that
conflict, as a result of the toxics that they ingested in themselves,
became victims. And I certainly think we can follow through and help
them reclaim what is rightfully theirs; the dollars from that fund.
{time} 1600
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, if no one is claiming time in opposition
to this bill, I ask unanimous consent to control the 5 minutes
allocated for opposition.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Hastings of Washington). Is there
objection to the request of the gentleman from Texas?
There was no objection.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett) is
recognized for an additional 5 minutes.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Evans), the ranking member of the Committee on Veterans'
Affairs.
Mr. EVANS. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the amendment
offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett).
The intent of this amendment is clear, to give our veterans in the
Persian Gulf War first priority in seeking claims against Iraqi assets
frozen by our Government during the war.
This amendment has the strong support of veterans groups, including
Gulf War veterans. They know that while we can never make up the losses
that were incurred in the Gulf War, veterans and their families should
have the assurances that we will continue to seek every chance to
collect damages against those injuries that they have suffered from.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Edwards) who represents the largest military base in the
world, Ft. Hood, Texas.
Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Chairman, it is not good enough to honor veterans on
just Veterans' Day and Memorial Day. It is not good enough to just
honor veterans with our speeches and our words. It is time we honored
veterans with our actions.
Veterans do not need our rhetoric. They need our support. A vote for
the Doggett amendment today is a vote to put veterans first where they
should be. We have a clear choice. We can vote to give Desert Storm and
Desert Shield veterans first claim on $1 billion of frozen Iraqi
assets, or we can vote to let countries who sold cigarettes to Saddam
Hussein put their claims before our American veterans.
We can vote to support those who put their lives on the line fighting
against Saddam Hussein, or we can vote to support those who made
profits selling to Saddam Hussein.
Whose side are we on? That is the question before us. American
veterans who were on the front lines in fighting against Saddam should
not be put in the back of the line when Iraqi assets are unfrozen. Vote
for our veterans. Vote for the Doggett amendment.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Connecticut (Mr. Gejdenson), the ranking member on the Committee on
International Relations.
[[Page H6066]]
Mr. GEJDENSON. Mr. Chairman, I would like to commend the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Doggett) for bringing this to the floor. This is the
right action to take here.
We ask our military personnel to take the first action in defending
America's interests, the West's interests, our economic interests, our
political interests, and our security interests. They should not be
anyplace else in line but first when it comes to claiming their duly
deserved compensation.
This is an excellent amendment. The gentleman from Texas (Mr.
Doggett) is doing the right thing, and we should unanimously support
him.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, how much time remains, Mr. Chairman?
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett) has
6 minutes remaining.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself an additional 3 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, it appears that no one will rise to speak against this
amendment. I am pleased about that, and I know that our Nation's
veterans will be pleased about it.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Gulf Veterans Resource Center
have been active in supporting this measure. When this measure came
before the Committee on International Affairs back in 1993, these
organizations and other veterans organizations spoke out in favor of
this provision.
Yet, why is it that with such strong support from veterans, with a
near unanimous vote of this House in 1994 on a strong bipartisan basis,
again on my motion in 1997 a strong bipartisan basis, we have not
provided our veterans with the mechanism to have a chance to get some
recovery from the frozen assets of Saddam Hussein that are sitting in
banks right here in the United States?
It is because there are some who have claims that are competing with
the veterans and do not want veterans to have a first claim on these
assets.
Some of the entities that have registered their claims with regard to
these assets are the very companies that supplied Saddam Hussein with
the means to have weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological
weapons, components that could be used in the development of nuclear
weaponry, conventional weapons that were made available to Saddam
Hussein. They now are competing with our veterans.
Another group of entities that are competing and seem to have played
a big role in this bill during the last Congress are the major tobacco
companies. They also have claims. One has a claim of some $12 million.
Now, I am not suggesting that any of those, even those that supplied
Saddam Hussein with the means for his war machine, ought not to have
their day in court or the day before the commission. But I am
suggesting that before they have their day in court we should at least
resolve the claims of those who put their lives on the line and some of
whom actually sacrificed and gave their lives and others of whom will
be plagued for the rest of their lives, bright young men and women with
a shining future who now suffer disability as the result of Gulf War
Syndrome.
I would say, as to those young men and women who gave their all to
this country, who put their country first and made this sacrifice, that
they deserve to have their claims put ahead of the companies that
supplied weaponry and the means to develop weaponry to Saddam Hussein
and that they deserve to be placed ahead of the major tobacco companies
that say they want their claims settled, not that they are left out,
but that our veterans go first.
I know that there are others across this Capitol, Mr. Jesse Helms in
particular, that disagree with this approach. But I believe this House,
for a third time having spoken out with, I hope, a unanimous voice and
a recorded vote, will be sending a message that we will not leave our
veterans behind anymore and that, as we close out this millennium, we
will finally put our Gulf War veterans first and let them have a claim,
a legitimate claim, against these assets of Saddam Hussein.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr.
Edwards).
Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Chairman, I just want to thank the gentleman for his
efforts.
I would like to point out that I think it is outrageous if Members do
not have the courage to come in the light of day on the floor of this
House to say they oppose the amendment of the gentleman, an effort to
put veterans first, and yet behind closed doors in conference committee
this effort seems to be killed.
I would hope that the silence and opposition to this amendment would
indicate that this will pass through the conference committee. I hope
that the veterans organizations in America will be watching this effort
very, very carefully.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. EDWARDS. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I ask the gentleman to respond to this
question.
I believe the gentleman was here on the floor in 1997 when we had our
motion to instruct. It took up an entire hour of time. Am I not correct
that, in the course of that debate, only one Member of this entire
House on either side of the aisle or a Republican colleague of ours
rose to oppose the motion to instruct and after the debate he voted
with us in favor of the motion to instruct to tell Jesse Helms and all
the members of the conference committee do not put veterans last,
because if we put them last, given the size of the claims of some of
these companies that helped fuel Saddam Hussein's war machine and
supplied tobacco to the children and adults of Iraq, if we put the
veterans down behind them, the veterans will not get a penny; it will
not be a matter of putting veterans last, it will be a matter of
putting veterans out and they will never get a dime? Is that not
correct?
Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, that is correct.
It is my hope, Mr. Chairman, that every major veterans group in
American will watch like a hawk what happens in conference committee on
this. It would be unfair and morally wrong to our Nation's veterans to
take this language out in conference committee.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I have no further speakers, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by
the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett).
The question was taken; and the Chairman pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Chairman, I object to the vote on the ground that a
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not
present.
The CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to House Resolution 247, further proceedings
on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett) will
be postponed.
The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.
It is now in order to consider Amendment No. 37 printed in Part B of
House Report 106-235.
Amendment No. 37 Offered by Mr. Engel
Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Part B amendment No. 37 offered by Mr. Engel:
Page 84, after line 16, add the following (and conform the
table of contents accordingly):
SEC. 703. KOSOVAR ALBANIAN PRISONERS HELD IN SERBIA.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) At the conclusion of the NATO campaign to halt the
Serbian and Yugoslav ethnic cleansing in Kosova, a large, but
undetermined number of Kosovar Albanians held in Serbian
prisons in Kosova were taken from Kosova before and during
the withdrawal of Serbian and Yugoslav police and military
forces from Kosova.
(2) Serbian Justice Minister Dragoljub Jankovic has
admitted that 1,860 prisoners were brought to Serbia from
Kosova on June 10, 1999, the day Serbian and Yugoslav police
and military forces began their withdrawal from Kosova.
(3) International humanitarian organizations, including the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Human
Rights Watch, have expressed serious concern with the
detention of Kosovar Albanians in prisons in Serbia.
[[Page H6067]]
(4) On June 25, 1999, Serbia released 166 of the detained
Kosovar Albanian prisoners to the ICRC.
(5) On July 10, 1999, the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe,
comprised of parliamentarians from Across Europe, the United
States and Canada, adopted a resolution calling upon Serbia
and Yugoslavia, in accordance with international humanitarian
law, to grant full, immediate and ongoing ICRC access to all
prisoners held in relation to the Kosova crisis, to ensure
the humane treatment of such prisoners, and to arrange for
the release of all such prisoners.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the Serbian and Yugoslav Governments should immediately
account for all Kosovar Albanians held in their prisons and
treat them in accordance with all applicable international
standards;
(2) the ICRC should be given full, immediate, and ongoing
access to all Kosovar Albanians held in Serbian and Yugoslav
prisons; and
(3) all Kosovar Albanians held in Serbian and Yugoslav
prisons should be released and returned to Kosova.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 247, the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to claim the time
in opposition to the Engel amendment although I am not opposed to the
amendment.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from New York?
There was no objection.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New
York (Mr. Engel).
Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2\1/2\ minutes.
Mr. Chairman, after the allies won the war in Kosovo, when the
Serbian forces left Kosovo to go back to Serbia, they kidnapped
anywhere from 1,800 prisoners, Kosovar Albanian prisoners, to up to
5,000 Kosovar Albanian prisoners, and took them back to Serbia, away
from their homes, and jailed them.
The Serbian justice minister mentions a total of 1,860 Kosovar
Albanians jailed. But I have from a very respected newspaper, Koha
Ditore, a list of 5,000 ethnic Albanian prisoners who are now detained
in jails in Serbia.
This amendment simply would call on the International Committee of
the Red Cross to be allowed to visit these prisoners to call for an
accounting of these prisoners and to give the International Committee
of the Red Cross access to all Kosovar Albanians detained in Serbian
prisons.
It also asks for the release and return to Kosovo of all these people
and is virtually identical to a resolution that was passed by the OSCE
recently which contained the same provisions and was the European
parliamentarians' same request.
We cannot allow Slobodan Milosevic to capture these people and to
keep them there as virtual prisoners. It is absolutely important that
the world community stand up and say that we will not tolerate the
continued Serbian aggression.
Mr. Chairman, I include for the Record the list of prisoners and two
articles, one from the Washington Post and one from the Los Angeles
Times, which highlights this problem and the problem of the Kosovar
Albanians who are captured and kidnapped in Serbian prisons.

Among the Missing: Prisoners of Serbia
(By William Booth)
Pozarevac, Yugoslavia.--The most famous prisoner in Serbia
shuffled into the deputy warden's office today, her boots
missing their laces and her hands clasped behind her back.
She was pale and her fingers trembled, but she was defiant
and angry.
Flore Brovina, a middle-aged pediatrician and poet with
dyed blond hair, beloved in her native Kosovo but accused of
being an enemy of the state by Yugoslav authorities, is among
hundreds of ethnic Albanians who were taken from jails in
Kosovo in the last days of the war last month and moved to
prisons in Serbia.
Brovina is among the lucky ones; she has been found. Most
of the prisoners have yet to be accounted for, and they are
among the larger ranks of missing ethnic Albanians whose fate
is one of the great human rights mysteries of the Kosovo
conflict. Over the three months of war, thousands of ethnic
Albanians in Kosovo, mostly men of fighting age, were pulled
from their homes and from columns of refugees streaming into
Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro.
They vanished without a trace.
Some were killed, and only the digging in graves and
forensic investigations will tell their stories. But many
were incarcerated in seven prisons around Kosovo. Many were
held without formal charges, allowed under a martial law
decree that governed Yugoslavia during the war.
At war's end, as NATO forces advanced into Kosovo province,
some prisoners escaped--how many is unknown. At least 800
were marched to the Albanian border and released by Yugoslav
security forces. The rest were taken in a long convoy of
buses and trucks to Serbia.
Today, Brovina took a seat before her captors and announced
to her first visitor since her arrest in April, ``I do not
consider myself a prisoner, but a slave.''
She said, ``I have only one question: Why am I here?''
For the next two hours, as the deputy warden and a guard by
turns grimaced with shame or anger, disbelief or disgust,
Brovina, 50, described her journey through the Serbian
criminal justice system, where she is charged with being a
terrorist.
Serbian Justice Minister Dragoljub Jankovic said in an
interview this week that his staff has accounted for 1,860
prisoners brought to Serbia from Kosovo on June 10, the day
Yugoslav forces began withdrawing from the province. The
prisons of Kosovo are now empty, and the largest, at Istok,
was bombed into rubble--and prisoners killed--by NATO
airstrikes in late May.
According to Jankovic, there are 800 of the missing at the
prison here in Pozarevac; 400 in Nis; 330 in Sremska
Mitrovica; 180 in Leskovac; 95 in Prokuplje; and 55 in
Zajecar. These cities are all in Serbia.
The minister said he will soon turn over the names and
locations, still being tabulated, to the International
Committee for the Red Cross.
The 1,860--or more--brought to Serbia from Kosovo are
approximately the same number of missing prisoners
circulating among humanitarian groups and lawyers in Serbia
and Kosovo, its southern province. But even Jankovic
acknowledged the final tally may grow. He said that many
prisoners were moved, but their case files and other
documentation, including investigative and trial
proceedings, were lost in the race by Yugoslav forces and
Serbian authorities to withdraw from Kosovo. Serbia is the
dominant republic in the Yugoslav federation.
``We're doing the best we can under very difficult
circumstances,'' Jankovic said.
The Belgrade government released 166 ethnic Albanian
prisoners in June. Jankovic said another 200 would probably
be freed soon.
The chief warden here, Stipe Marusic, said he received 647
prisoners from Kosovo on the last day of the war, of which
579 were ethnic Albanians, most of whom are not yet convicted
of any crime but are listed on his manifests as ``detainees''
or ``under investigation.'' Others are simply prisoners
arrested in the last four months by the Serbian special
police.
``We expect some to be convicted'' of charges of terrorist
activities, he said, ``and some to be exchanged.''
Human rights activists here and in Kosovo have faulted NATO
leaders for not including in the peace accords more language
about what is to be done with the prisoners.
Brovina said she believed they were being held as
``bargaining chips,'' and were being ``fattened'' up in
Serbian prisons before some are eventually released.
For weeks, Brovina's lawyer was not sure where she was. The
Serbian Ministry of Justice could not find her. Confused
about her misspelled name, the authorities said they were
looking for a man, Jankovic assisted a reported in finding
Brovina. Brovina has been in trouble with Serbian authorities
since the early 1990s, when ethnic Albanians in Kosovo began
actively resisting a decree by Slobodan Milosevic, who was
then president of Serbia, to strip the province of its
limited autonomy and bring the majority ethnic Albanian
population to heel.
In the purges that followed, Brovina was fired from her job
at the hospital in Pristina,
