On the recordSeptember 18, 2002

I would like to add emphasis, in closing, to what the gentlewoman said. She had one amendment that brought to the attention of this body that when a person that is renting pays 133 percent of the total purchase price that they would own the property. Now, any of us that pay 133 percent of something ought to at least own 75 percent of something by the time that we do that. For us not to have made that amendment in order, in my judgment, is a mistake.

Do you recognize that such a visit would send a strong message to Russia... that the United States supported Ukraine and was ready to defend it against Russian aggression?
