Summary
Declares that: (1) the United States should work with the United Nations (UN) as the primary conduit for a peaceful solution to the crisis in Yugoslavia; and (2) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) should cease air strikes in Yugoslavia to give the UN the necessary window of opportunity to bring peace to the people of Kosovo.
