Dear President Clinton:

Many of us here believe that one of the most outstanding appointments 
you have made has been naming Richard Holbrooke as the chief American 
negotiator in Bosnia.

He appears to have an intuitive grasp of the realities of the situation 
there, together with a determination that there should be a just 
settlement of the conflict. His statement on CNN that "our goal is a 
single Bosnian state," shows that he has grasped what none of the 
earlier negotiators seem to have understood: that the Serbs cannot be 
rewarded for aggression and that no group can be allowed to change 
national borders in Europe by force.

He also appears to understand - from what he said on "Meet the Press" - 
that it is Milosevic who really holds the key to what the Serbs do in 
Bosnia. Holbrooke knows that large amounts of arms and materiel have 
been reaching the Bosnian Serbs from Milosevic's Serbia, and that 
without that aid, the Bosnian Serbs could not continue committing their 
crimes.

Because of Holbrooke's insight into the way the Serbs really think and 
behave, a new sense of reality seems to have set in among the 
negotiators. What has made many of us in Europe really hopeful, though, 
was his statement over CNN that a final peace settlement most definitely
will be enforced, by Nato and by the United States. It was clear to us 
that this time, finally, a commitment had been made that will be kept.

A tremendous amount of sheer labor still remains. The rock of Sisyphus 
that Warren Christopher mentioned may have to be rolled up the mountain 
many more times, but when peace is finally a reality in the Balkans, 
Holbrooke surely deserves at least a nomination for a Nobel Prize.

And after all the work you must have done - behind the scenes - many of 
us think you should share in that nomination, and perhaps even in the 
prize itself.

If that doesn't happen, your American supporters here in Europe know you
are intelligent enough to recall what John Kennedy said about life: It's
unfair.

We also know that you are wise enough to understand what Kennedy didn't 
say: that life may be unfair, but history almost never is.

Sincerely yours,

Robert J. Bennett
