Dear Mr. President:

The American Legion, a wartime veterans organization of nearly three-million
members, urges the immediate withdrawal of American troops participating in
^SOperation Allied Force.^T

The National Executive Committee of The American Legion, meeting in
Indianapolis today, adopted Resolution 44, titled ^SThe American Legion^Rs
Statement on Yugoslavia.^T This resolution was debated and adopted
unanimously.

Mr. President, the United States Armed Forces should never be committed to
wartime operations unless the following conditions are fulfilled:

That there be a clear statement by the President of why it is in our vital
national interests to be engaged in hostilities;
Guidelines be established for the mission, including a clear exit strategy;
That there be support of the mission by the U.S. Congress and the American
people; and
That it be made clear that U.S. Forces will be commanded only by U.S.
officers which we acknowledge are superior military leaders.
It is the position of The American Legion, which I am sure is shared by the
majority of Americans, that three of the above listed conditions have not
been met in the current joint operation with NATO (^SOperation Allied
 Force^T).

In no case should America commit its Armed Forces in the absence of clearly
defined objectives agreed upon by the U.S. Congress in accordance with
Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution of the United States.


       Sincerely,



       HAROLD L. ^SBUTCH^T MILLER
       National Commander


Att: Resolution #44
