On the recordApril 28, 1994
I rise in support of H.R. 3221, the Iraq Claims Act of 1993, reported out of the Foreign Affairs Committee on November 20, 1993. I fully agree with Chairman Hamilton on the importance of this legislation and the need for creating a fair and equitable procedure and framework for American claims not within the jurisdiction of the U.N. Compensation Commission. This legislation provides a fair and orderly system for satisfying the claims of United States nationals, companies and the United States against Iraq as a result of the August 2, 1990, invasion of Kuwait. The Iraq Claims Act follows the standard procedure utilized in the past to provide compensation of Americans in similar circumstances.
