                DEPLOYMENT OF U.S. FORCES IN YUGOSLAVIA

       (Pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1545(b), S.J. Res. 20 ``Concerning 
     the Deployment of United States Armed Forces to the Kosovo 
     region in Yugoslavia'' is the pending business.)

  The joint resolution is as follows:

                              S.J. Res. 20

       Whereas the United States and its allies in the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization are conducting large-scale 
     military operations against the Federal Republic of 
     Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); and
       Whereas the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
     Montenegro) has refused to comply with NATO demands that it 
     withdraw its military, paramilitary and security forces from 
     the province of Kosovo, allow the return of ethnic Albanian 
     refugees to their homes, and permit the establishment of a 
     NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
     United States of America in Congress assembled,  That the 
     President is authorized to use all necessary force and other 
     means, in concert with United States allies, to accomplish 
     United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     objectives in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
     Montenegro).
