For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
May 8, 2001
Text of a Letter from the President to the Chairmen of the House Committees on Appropriations, International Relations, and Armed Services, and the Senate Committees on Foreign Relations, Appropriations, and Armed Services
May 8, 2001
I am pleased to transmit herewith the 2000 Annual Report to the
Congress on Peacekeeping required by section 4 of the United Nations
Participation Act (22 U.S.C. 287b).
United Nations and other peacekeeping operations conducted under the
previous Administration helped us protect U.S. interests before they
were directly threatened and helped ensure that other nations shared
with us the risks and costs of maintaining international stability.
I look forward to working with you to ensure that, under the right
circumstances, peacekeeping remains a viable option for dealing with
international conflicts.
Sincerely,
GEORGE
W. BUSH
