I understand that the discount points for those loan guarantees will be paid by Israel. and also I am glad to say that there is a freeze on West Bank settlements in order to pave the way for peace in the area. There is full funding for President Bushs plan to stabilize Russia through targeted economic assistance. while conditioning the aid on a withdrawal of Russian troops from the Baltics and a moratorium on Russian military sales to Iran. There is $55 million in humanitarian and refugee aid to BosniaHercegovina and Croatia. and $15 million to fully investigate the POWMIA sightings in Laos and Cambodia. and $140 million for the two components of the Presidents enterprise zone for the Americas initiative. which will facilitate trade between the United States and our Latin American allies and create export jobs for United States workers. The bill is not perfect. though. In my opinion. its greatest shortcoming is its poor treatment of a staunch and loyal ally of the United States.
