On the recordJuly 13, 2000

I want to commend the long-time interest of the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Payne) in the humanitarian disaster in the Sudan. I am not necessarily against the language, but this is simply the wrong measure. This is an appropriations bill. I will be pleased to work with the gentleman, who has been an outstanding advocate on behalf of democracy in Sudan, on these issues in our committee and would be pleased to work with him to make certain that we get the appropriate vehicle for doing what he is seeking, his meritorious goals.
