On the recordDecember 22, 2022
I want to thank Senator Whitehouse for this long journey we have been on together. For Congressman Malinowski from the House, this has been a passion. This amendment would allow the Department of Justice, through the Secretary of State, to transfer proceeds from seized oligarch assets or other sanctioned entities to the people of Ukraine. It will be a godsend to the long-suffering people of Ukraine. It will be a relief to the American taxpayer because billions of dollars are subject to being seized and transferred. It will be a bad day for oligarchs. I ask for a voice vote. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Rhode Island.
