Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to close. Mr. Chairman, this is an important amendment. We need to codify what we have known for years has been American policy under Democrat Presidents and Republican Presidents that we simply won't pay ransom to get Americans back. It is enormously important to our country. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
