On the recordJuly 25, 1996

There is still some concern on the part of the organizations that deliver the aid that a statutory provision recognizing this policy might be needed to ensure the aid can in fact be delivered as we intend. I have prepared such an amendment and it is co-sponsored by Senators Leahy, Reid, Johnston, Jeffords, Inouye, Cohen, Lugar, and Murkowski. The language would directly reflect the report language already agreed to. However, I am willing to withhold that amendment if the chairman can assure me that he will defend the Senate position in conference and continue to resist the onerous House provisions I have referred to regarding Turkey and Azerbaijan. Lastly, I would ask that the language regarding the delivery of humanitarian aid that we included in the Senate committee report be included in the Statement of Managers of the Conference Report.
