I do hope that it can be followed up with another bill including needed policy language. I recognize that to pass this critical authorization bill as expeditiously as possible and with as little controversy as possible. policy language we discussed in the committee had to be deleted. For example. I had an amendment that would have required Iraqi war reparations be used to help pay for this assistance to Kurdish and other refugees. As citizens of Iraq. they should benefit from their Governments expenditures. particularly since. to date. they have only suffered at the hands of Saddam Husseins regime. Iraqs resources should be used to help its citizens. not harm them.
