On the recordJuly 30, 1997
I like the intent of what the gentleman is attempting to do, but I would like to tell the gentlewoman that we cannot cut off aid through the multilateral development organizations. All we can do is direct our executive director to those multilateral development organizations what he or she should do in attempting to cause those organizations to stop aiding Cambodia. I do not, therefore, think that the gentleman's amendment is implementable when it comes to the multilateral development banks. That is why I believe, while well-intended, what he attempts to do, at least with the MDBs, is not possible. I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
