Gerald Ford: “This amendment is jointly sponsored by myself, the majority leader, Senator Dole, the minority leader, Senator Daschle…”

On the recordMarch 14, 1996
This amendment is jointly sponsored by myself, the majority leader, Senator Dole, the minority leader, Senator Daschle, and Senator Leahy. It provides $50 million for emergency antiterrorism assistance for Israel. This is the program announced by the President from Jerusalem yesterday, and will provide funds to procure goods, provide training and/or grants in order to support efforts to help eradicate terrorists in and around Israel. As might be expected given the shortness of time involved in preparation for this proposal, specific details are lacking and therefore the amendment includes notification language, so that the Congress can exercise adequate oversight for a program before the money is spent.
