On the recordJune 10, 2015
I thank the ranking member and the chairman of the committee. Pakistan cannot be trusted. They lie about the reimbursements. They have not met the criteria that the ranking member has talked about the last 4 years, and they got the money anyway. They are playing us, Mr. Chairman, and we pay them; and they use that money to hurt us, to hurt Americans. This amendment says: we are cutting the money in half because of your prior conduct that shows you can't be trusted. That is all this amendment does. I would hope Members of Congress would send a message to Pakistan: we are not going to pay you to hate us and pay you to kill us; we are going to cut the money off. And that is just the way it is. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
