ties pose a more immediate threat to its neighbors and
to the United States;and
Whereas in light of these circumstances,Congress should re-
examine the threat posed by Iraq,including by allowing
time to review fully and accurately the findings of the
international weapons inspectors:Now,therefore,be it
