This Congress in the 2003 State Department Authorization Act said that once and for all, any documents like passports and the like that refer to Jerusalem have to say the country. It is the only instance in our Nation where it says a city but it does not refer to the country, a strange form of record keeping that we clarify. There are now some lawsuits from people who are trying to enforce that law that this Congress passed overwhelmingly, and the Justice Department and the State Department are fighting those suits. Mine would be an amendment saying that no funds can be used to stop Congress's will from being put into place. I urge a "yes" vote.
