On the recordMay 21, 2003
It not only makes the law consistent with the rest of the statutes regarding the qualifications for an attache which should have been done some time ago, I think it also sends a message to that country regarding recent activities insofar as expectations and friendship go. I must tell you how disappointed I am in that country regarding that. But, nevertheless, this does bring in line the law as it applies to all other attaches in all other countries, and I think it is an excellent amendment.
