Dear MPAC supporter,
You can play a vital role to stop Serbia's "ethnic clansing".
 MPAC hasgained support from key Senators on Capitol Hill.
Senator Alfonse D'Amato, in particular, has
responded to our call for a letter-writing
campaign directed at President Bush to lift
the arms embargo on Bosnia-HercegovinaSenator
D'Amato  is currently circulating a letter dated
December 18 to all other senators for their signatures.
Key aides in the offices of Senator Bradley, Dole, and
Biden have told us that their support for the letter is
very likely.
        Call  your  two  senators  to  sign  D'Amato's letter.
 The objective is to continue pressing President Bush and
Secretary of State Eagleburger for action no,
notwithstanding their-lethargic posture.
Otherwise, we should amplify this message through the media:
" The Bush administration will leave Washington with the legacy of
sitting idly by while a holacaust in Bosnia-Hercegovina is taking
place."  The congressional recess is no excuse for acquiescence to
 Genocide .
        Finally, this arduous process has been initiated by
a generous gift from one of our donors. Your contrition,
 small or large, can fortify our efforts in demanding
political change.

Dear Colleague:
        I am writing to urge you to join me in sending the enclosed letter
 to President Bush, urging him to lift the U.S. embargo on Bosnia.
        Presently, Serbian-backed militias continue to round up and kill
 innocent Bosnian women and children despite international condemnation.
 On several occasions, the United Nations has reported that Serbian
militias are practicing genocide unabated.
Our letter calls on the President to lift the arms embargo on Bosnia in
 order to provide the Bosnians with the means to defend themselves
 against the overwhelming force of the Serbian-backed militias. Our
 intention is simply to do all that we can to prevent the elimination of
 the Bosnian people. If lifting the arms embargo on Bosnia will help
 toward that end, then we must do so.
        If you wish to sign this letter to president Bush, please contact
 Gregg Rickman of my staff at *4-8369 by December 18, 1992. Thank you.
                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                Alfonson M. D'Am
                                                                United States Se

Dear Mr. President,
        The Genocide of the people of Bosnia is continuing despite
international condemnation. While your decision to implement
 humanitarian aid efforts into Bosnia-Hercegovina as well as seeking the
 tightening of sanctions against Serbia are indeed commendable, these
 actions alone will not stop the eradication of the Bosnian people. For
 this reason, we believe that the U.S. arms embargo against Bosnia must
 now be lifted.
        Well documented reports by the United Nations as well as several
 international human rights observers have shown that atrocities
 continue to be perpetrated against innocent Bosnian men, women and
 children. Yet Bosnia people, poorly armed, fed, and clothed, are
 willing to fight fiercely to defend themselves to avoid certain death
 at the hands of Serbians. While self-defense is Bosnia's right  as an
 independent  nation, we have  denied her right to obtain U.S. weapons
. Thus far, we have  stood by and allowed a nation we  recognize
 diplomatically to be extinguished. This policy must not continue.
        Your swift action in lifting the U.S. arms embargo against Bosnia
 can change the fate of the people of Bosnia-Hercegovina. What is at
 stake is the survival of an entire nation. We must not allow the people
 of Bosnia to be snuffed out.

                                                                Sincerely

Alfonse M. D'Amato
United States Senator
