On the recordMarch 11, 1998
The difference, if I may reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman, the difference is in the countries that the gentleman has explained where the legislature has some authority. They are able, then, to have the will of the people move forward. In the so-called constitutional monarchies that we find in other areas in the Middle East and in the Far East, we do not find the legislature, as the gentleman mentioned, they are moving into the tier. In Europe they have been into that tier for decades, for centuries. I have nothing against Morocco, but I simply think there is too little already going into the bill, and I just think to bring in all of North Africa to the bill, when we are talking about three or four initial countries to be included, I think it dilutes the bill.
