On the recordFebruary 16, 2012
One of the things the Senator talked about so eloquently, as we talked about the ability of our financial systems to impact what is happening in Russia--one of the things we heard about at the hearing on the Magnitsky bill was from the head of the American Chamber in Russia who talked about what the impact of this kind of case is on American companies trying to do business and the concern it raises about issues of corruption and the ability to operate freely in Russia. Does my colleague not agree that we can also urge those companies that are operating in Russia to speak out when cases such as this happen and they have concerns about what it does to their business in the country? The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority's 30 minutes has expired.
