Now. the third reason I oppose this bill is that it includes many provisions. policy provisions. that restrict a Presidents ability to conduct foreign policy. It reduces our ability to follow through on the North Korean framework agreement. It derails our steady support for democratic and market reform in the New Independent States. It weakens our leverage in the international institutions. It changes our refugee policies in ways that threaten to open up our borders to tens of thousands of new immigrants. Many of these provisions in the bill are complicated. vague. and ambiguous. On several occasions the sponsors of the amendments could not tell us what countries would be affected other than perhaps a specific country that was specifically targeted.
