Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, fortunately, history will cast final judgment on this administration and President Clinton's failed African policy.
After the made-for-T.V. and carefully staged events fade from memory, some grim scenes of Clinton failed African policies will haunt us for generations.
There won't be a Clinton visit to Somalia. Somalia has returned to chaos.
While we hear the cheers in African streets today--we must not forget the jeers of crowds in Mogadishu.
We must not forget that this President placed U.S. troops under disorganized U.N. command and they were killed and dragged shamelessly on African soil. This President turned a Bush humanitarian mission into a foreign relations and military disaster.

History will also record this administration's failure to halt a `Holocaust of our time' in Rwanda.
Not only did the President fail to act after the killing began--In fact, President Clinton and his administration repeatedly blocked U.N. efforts to send in an All-African force before the genocide began.
Mr. Speaker, fortunately history will not be blinded by the temporary glare of a television camera either in Africa or in America.
