“Not very often will my colleagues find me taking a position that is contrary to that of my colleague from Chicago. But I rise in opposition to the amendment to cut OPIC. I do so because we are a pace setter. We are a Nation that is known as a leader. We have been a leader in business and industry all over the world. I have been told that you cannot lead where you do not go, just as you cannot teach what you do not know. If I know one thing, I know that if our corporations, if our companies, if our businesses are not there in the marketplace, then I know that they cannot do business. And so that I urge that we oppose this amendment and let OPIC do its job, do its work, do its business.”
