On the recordMarch 12, 1998
we of course are going to make a major effort over the next few months to monitor this assistance going to Karabakh and to make sure that it does get to those who need it, and also to make sure that section 907 is not repealed. Obviously, we are going to have the battle over the next few months also to make sure that over the next fiscal year this humanitarian assistance gets to both Armenia and Nagorno- Karabakh. I wanted to move on, if I could, to our other area of concern and that is India, because India in fact just went through a very successful election. Once again, India of course is the largest democracy in the world, and it amazes me every time they have an election that so many hundreds of millions of people are able to vote in an election and that it is essentially a fair election and that people vote and take part in a very orderly process. One of the things that I know that the gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman) and I have been concerned about is that we want to make sure that India continues to rise in importance, if you will, and be a priority of American foreign policy. I think that we have seen that happen over the last few years. We have seen that the amount of trade that takes place between the United States and India continues to grow.

My colleagues and I warned Trump and DHS this would happen, and now a 39-year-old father has died because they refused to listen. There must be an immediate investigation.
