Today is a Day for Unity for Congress and the Ameri can people to stand together behind the president said Senate majority Leader Bob Dole a Kan. Sen. Richard Lugar r-ind., chairman of the Senate for eign relations committee told reporters he Hopes the . Action will prompt european allies to reconsider their reluctance to impose economic and political sanctions against Libya. After a breakfast meeting with German vice Chan cellar Hans Dietrich Genscher Lugar said the German official stressed the need to think once again about eco nomic and political sanctions and to work with moderate Arab states whom he believes Are our Best allies presently in isolating libyan Leader col. Loammer  i would Hope that As a result of what has occurred in the last 24 hours european countries would take much More seriously the ideas of economic and political sanctions Lugar said.

Are we going to do this again and again and again asked Senate democratic Leader Robert c. Byrd of West Virginia. We Are under no illusion. Khad Afy May strike again Dole said tuesday in a Senate floor speech. But consider what he would have done had we not acted had we simply rolled Over and pretended that his murderous attacks his murderous plans would somehow go away. Under those circumstances the carnage we have seen in Berlin in Rome in Vienna Austria and everywhere around the Globe where khad Afy and his ilk have struck would have been multiplied Many times  sen. John Warner r-va., a member of the Senate armed services committee and former Secretary of the Navy noted Reagan had determined Force was the Only option saying we must give the president our support at this time. I continue however to have grave concerns about the continuing use of . Force without participation by Al lied military elements in the Battle against terrorism Warner said.

A massive bombing raid against the nation or the people of a fanatic terrorist in response for the death of an american Serviceman has to be judged by the results and i Don t really know at this Point what the facts Are said Carter. My guess is that this bombing raid on Tripoli Libya and other places will not end terrorism and May very Well result in an escalation of  while legislators also had concerns Over whether they had been adequately consulted there was nearly unanimous bipartisan support for the decision to strike in retaliation for terrorism against americans. I think All americans would stand with the commander in chief at this moment said sen. Edward m. Kennedy a mass.

We need to be very supportive of the president of the United states which is what we be  sen. Ernest f. Hollings d-s.c., said it was important to show khad Afy and the libyans that they will pay a Price that there is a Cost for  sen. Orrin Hatch a Utah said it was time that somebody stood up to this Mideast  virtually the Only outright expressions of opposition came from rep. Ronald v. Dellums d-calif., a member of the House armed services committee and rep. Louis Stokes a Ohio chairman of the House intelligence sub committee on programs and budget. I oppose the bombing of Libya by . Military forces. I firmly believe that it will contribute nothing to halting terror ism but fear it will Only contribute to the rampantly escalating Cycle of violence in the Middle East Dellums said. Stokes termed the action an act of  terrorism is deplorable and abominable Stokes said. The culprits who perpetrate terrorism should be ferreted out and punished. But the act of bombing a metropolitan City in one country by another country is an act of War he said. It surpasses terrorism and civilized nations do not commit acts of War in retribution for acts of terrorism he said
