“I do have an amendment that would restrict funds for the Bahamian Government contingent upon their cooperation of simply sharing information and discussing this with the chairman and the ranking member of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee. Mr. Chair, I will not offer that amendment right now, but I would ask the chairman and the ranking member to please work with us on this matter. I will say it again. The Bahamian Government is our friend. They are our allies. However, this is a tragic situation. I would ask the chairman to put himself in the place of the parents, and work with us to help us get the information that the family is looking for.”
