I appreciate my colleague's comments. Frankly, I hope that is the message that is received. If you came to serve the United States Government to advance your own interests instead of the Nation's, I hope you choose not to go into the Foreign Service. That is exactly the message I want to send to Victoria Nuland and everyone else in the State Department. Frankly, I hope we go far beyond this and eliminate whole sections and floors of the current staff there. This amendment is a start, not a finish line. Mr. Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to support the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
