I thank the chairman for the clarification so that I can further clarify for the record that this amendment only applies for purposes of this resolution and in the section I offered it. Let's say in Mali, for example, that our country in the future were involved with refueling operations of our partner or our ally's aircraft. This wouldn't apply.

No reasonable reading of this could construe this to establish any legal precedent that ought to cause concern for anyone concerned.
