I offered. during the markup. an amendment which was agreed to which said very simply that we would not sell arms to Kuwait until they dealt with the problems they have had in that country in terms of trying people for crimes. allegedly committed. But today I read in the New York Times very distressing news. Mr. Speaker. The Kuwaiti Government has begun expelling civilian prisoners to Iraq. and some of those deported apparently have been sent against their will. Any such forcable expulsions would be a violation of an agreement signed by all parties at the end of the Persian Gulf War. This is not the worst of it.
