and gathering danger. We have taken that word, "grave danger," likely to cause serious harm to this country, and put it in here to say if the U.N. process is not successful in disarming Saddam Hussein. The President then has to make a determination that he shares with the Congress and with the public that Iraq represents a grave danger to our country. I think that is a bar that should be raised. Does that tie the President's hands? Of course, it ties it a little bit, but that is our job to provide balance and wisdom. It is wisdom and force that should ultimately characterize the actions of the President and Congress. The second difference we are about to vote on is whether we want to authorize the President to use force to enforce Security Council resolutions that have nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. The way the resolution is unfortunately written, we are giving the President the ability to use force to deal with the way Saddam Hussein has oppressed his own people and engaged in inappropriate activity with prisoners of war. Of course we are against that and condemn it, but do we really want to use military force on that basis? We don't. Let's have a very clean, clear, simple declaration to our constituents, to the American people, to people abroad, as to exactly what our intentions are. That is what our constituents are entitled to if we are to wield the mighty military force of this country in disarming Saddam Hussein. With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
