I do not think that is the right thing to do substantively. It seems to me if we are going to provide that action for Jordan. that it belongs in this bill and it should be offset in this bill. because I am tired of seeing this Government make foreign policy decisions that wind up having domestic consequences that are negative for our constituents. Another example would be. for instance. the situation which we find ourselves in with respect to refugees. where the Federal Government will make agreements allowing refugees into this country. and then they will walk away from the obligation to support the financing of those refugees. and turn the obligation for that over to State and local governments. I do not think that is legitimate. I think foreign policy issues should be dealt with in foreign policy bills.
