By sending this amendment back to the Senate. we will be giving the other body another opportunity to consider the Smith amendment which is so important to many Members of this body. I expect the Senate leadership to work to pass this amendment. I hope they are successful. but I recognize that parts of the Smith amendment have failed to pass the Senate on two previous occasions. Mr. Speaker. I urge the House to agree to this motion. Our leadership has determined that this is the best way to move the foreign operations appropriations bill toward the Presidents desk. We must do what we can to make sure that humanitarian aid to displaced people and refugees around the world is not disrupted. Mr. Speaker.
