Jim Saxton: “This is an amendment which suspends aid, direct aid to the Palestinian Authority. It has been drafted with cooperation…”

On the recordJuly 30, 1997
This is an amendment which suspends aid, direct aid to the Palestinian Authority. It has been drafted with cooperation of the gentleman from New York [Mr. Gilman], the gentleman from New York [Mr. Engel], the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Fox], the gentleman from New York [Mr. Nadler], and the gentleman from New York [Mr. Forbes], which obviously makes it a bipartisan amendment. At the conclusion of the 90-day suspension period, if certain conditions are met and attested to by the United States administration, then aid could resume. I believe this is an absolutely necessary amendment given the events of the past six months or so.
