Lance Gooden: “I ask colleagues and staffers that are watching this amendment debate back in the office to go back to your boss…”

On the recordNovember 30, 2023
I ask colleagues and staffers that are watching this amendment debate back in the office to go back to your boss, especially if you are Republican, and say, you know what? We have a Member from our own party saying this is a bad idea because we have hostage negotiations that are happening right now that will not be helped if this amendment is passed. Everyone in this Chamber knows this amendment is going nowhere if it gets on the bill, but that doesn't matter. The concept of giving the middle finger to the one group in the Middle East that is actually helping us achieve some hostage releases, and that is the Qataris, I think is a bad policy, and I urge opposition to this amendment.
