Frank Pallone: “The way the amendment of the gentleman from Indiana is phrased, we are…”

On the recordJune 5, 1996

The way the amendment of the gentleman from Indiana is phrased, we are not just talking about Turkey. We are talking about the general issue of whether or not a country should continue to receive United States aid if it forbids or blockades humanitarian assistance from going to another country that is a friend of ours. So I agree, if there was any other country that was doing this, then they should be stopped as well. So focusing on Turkey versus Armenia makes sense in the context of today, but this is a basic principle that I think should apply to all U.S. foreign policy. It does not matter whether it is Armenia or not.
