I also urge adoption of the Wyden amendment, when he is talking about forced labor. But I want to point out one important issue. The amendment that we just voted on, my amendment, which bans the use of Federal funds on renewable projects, critical minerals from all of China, was opposed by the vast majority of the far-left environmental groups in America. They want to be able to import these products from China, even though we have them and we have the minerals. So there is a difference between the Wyden amendment and the Sullivan amendment. I urge its adoption, but let's not be fooled here. The far-left, green agenda is to import products from China and not allow mining and critical mineral production in America. That is wrong. I am glad my amendment just passed, but I urge adoption of the Wyden amendment as well. Vote on Amendment No. 3805 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The sponsor of the amendment has asked for a voice vote. The question is on agreeing to the amendment. The amendment (No. 3805) was agreed to. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kentucky. Amendment No. 3150 (Purpose: In the nature of a substitute.)
