Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 28, 2023
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.
