I thank the gentleman. I hope if it is not next week, it will be soon. I thank the gentleman for his information. I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

There are deep linguistic and political divisions within Ukraine. Frankly, that is true of many other countries as well. Democracy by its nature provides an avenue to overcome those differences through peaceful cooperation and dialogue…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I want to thank Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Lowey for bringing this bill to the floor in a very timely fashion. Mr. Speaker, Congress is coming together today to support loan guarantee authority…
