Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to my fellow Members'\nattention, a matter of grave international concern that has\nunfortunately gone largely unnoticed as we tangle with the thorny\nissues of Haiti and Bosnia. I speak of the continued conflict between\nPakistan and India over Kashmir.\n  For too long the people of Kashmir have continued to be deprived the\nright to self determination. Through occupation and intimidation, the\nregion has been denied the most basic right to determine its own future\nand destiny. This conflict has not only hurt the people of Kasmir, but\nhas also led to a particularly delicate and dangerous standoff between\nIndia and Pakistan. This conflict has not only disastrous possibilities\nfor these two countries, but could destabilize a region that is\nbecoming more intricately economically connected to the United States'\nnational interest.\n  Because of other ongoing situations, the Kashmir conflict has become\nlargely forgotten, although it remains as heated and as dangerous as\nany in the world. It is imperative that the leaders of Pakistan and\nIndia show the moral courage necessary to settle this conflict and to\nrestabilize not only the lives of the people of Kashmir but of the\nwhole region. In order to encourage this outcome, I call on Chairman\nAckerman's Foreign Affairs Subcommittee to hold hearings on this issue,\nexploring both the views of India and Pakistan and possible resolutions\nto the conflict. In addition, it is imperative that the United Nations\nshow the kind of leadership necessary to steer toward a peaceful\noutcome of the Kashmir questions.\n  I encourage all my colleagues to join me in bringing attention to\nKashmir and in supporting a peaceful and equitable resolution to the\nconflict.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1994-10-08-pt1-PgE48"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9373119100928307, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
