Madam Chair, I thank my good friend, Mr. Pallone, for bringing this issue to our attention and for his longstanding efforts to bring this conflict to an end. Madam Chair, we can all agree on the need to bring the 30-year Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to a peaceful resolution, as we can all agree upon the need to maintain the United States' role as a neutral, third- party arbiter and for the United States to maintain positive diplomatic relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan. I thank the gentleman for bringing this matter to our attention, and I and my staff look forward to working with Mr. Pallone and his staff on this important issue. Madam Chairwoman, I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment No. 18 Offered by Mr. Buchanan The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 18 printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
