I was baffled, a little bit stunned by the gentleman's amendment and cannot understand why he would single out Liberia and Sudan to be excluded. I think it is unwise. I think his motives are questionable, and I would hope that the gentleman from Virginia's (Mr. Wolf) caucus would follow his wise leadership and guidance and not allow an issue like this to create any kind of suspicion about anyone's motives. I know that on this floor we are not supposed to question our colleagues' motives, but this is kind of an unusual amendment that just jumps out at one; and, again, I do not understand why the gentleman is doing it, but I would like to say to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf) thanks for opposing it.
