On the recordJune 10, 2015
I thank the chairman for yielding and would acknowledge the gentleman from Texas' legitimate concern. I would associate myself with the chairman's remark, but make one important addition, and that is the chairman has been adamant that we be very, very careful about our relationship with Pakistan, and the bill recognizes difficulties we face. I would draw the Member's attention to section 9015 that prohibits funds to Pakistan if the government is engaged in activities that present a concern to the government of the United States. I appreciate that the chairman insisted on that language. That is included in the bill.
