Today I rise in opposition of amendment No. 3 in the en bloc. I have tremendous respect for Chairmen Green and Rogers, and I also view the Chinese Communist Party as a threat to world peace. I believe the unintended consequences of this amendment will have a greater negative financial impact on our junior enlisted servicemen who shop at our base exchanges than on the Chinese Communist Party. Our junior enlisted currently struggle financially, and implementation of this amendment will unintentionally raise the cost of everyday goods and further exacerbate this strain. Mr. Chair, for this reason alone, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
