Summary

Authorization for Use of United States Armed Forces in Somalia Resolution - Authorizes the President to deploy U.S. armed forces to participate in UNOSOM II (the international United Nations peacekeeping force in Somalia).

Declares that all U.S. armed forces should be withdrawn from Somalia within six months of the date of enactment of this resolution. Directs the President to report to the Congress at least once every two months until two months after all U.S. armed forces have been withdrawn from Somalia on developments related to Somalia.
