This provision. first enacted on a 1year basis in the foreign operations appropriations bill. would require that recipients of American aid not block the delivery of any humanitarian aid to any neighboring country. While drafted generically. it is intended to send a strong signal to Turkey. which in the past has frequently attempted to block the delivery of desperately needed humanitarian assistance to the people of Armenia. A third major legislative initiative in this conference report is the Terrorist Exclusion Act. which I first introduced in the last Congress. This would restore the Presidents authority to exclude the entry into the United States of any individual who is a member of a violent terrorist organization. This is basically to restore the law prior to So.
