On the recordApril 4, 2017
Well, before we finish, I just want to compliment Chairman Royce and Ranking Member Engel on the recent resolution that we worked on together in encouraging Argentina to continue on the path under new President Macri. Former President de Kirchner decided that she was going to be an isolationist. Argentina is too big. It is a country that could be a player in assisting us in any crisis that we have in South America. So this resolution did not cost any money, but it shows our friendship, it shows our support, and it shows that they are moving in the right direction. So my compliments to the gentleman, my compliments to the people that signed this resolution.
