On the recordSeptember 3, 1997
AIPAC, the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee, has informed me they do not oppose this amendment.

With all respect and recognizing that we differ on this amendment, it is imperative that I lay out that there is no opposition from the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee to this amendment.
