Instead, the majority is scrambling to pass at the last hour of this part of our session, just before a 7-week recess, the bill before us today. It is a farce. It is a dangerous gambit by the majority to play election-year politics at the expense of U.S. bipartisan foreign policy. I urge rejection of this ill-considered bill.
