State appropriations bill for fiscal year 1992. The bill includes a provision I authored that is aimed at reversing Arab League countries outdated passport policies which isolate and stigmatize our friend Israel and prohibiting the State Department from acquiescing in these policies. The provision resulted from an experience I had trying to obtain a visa for a leadership sanctioned trip to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait earlier this year. Saudi Arabia would not issue to me a visa because my passport had an Israeli entrance stamp. The Kuwaitis have a similar passport policy. So do a majority of the Arab League countries.
