I want to be certain that there is no ambiguity about what these funds are for. We are all aware that there was never any intention that these funds would be available for lethal assistance or for the expansion of settlements, but I think it is important to reaffirm that understanding. These NADR funds would not be available for offensive purposes, or for any purpose unrelated to the purchase of defensive, non-lethal anti-terrorism equipment, and the Senator from Kentucky has confirmed that.
