I was wrong about Hamas when I made that representation. But as to the Kurdish terrorists. we did not identify PKK but other Kurdish terrorists in Turkey. I did not refer to the Basque ETA but to other Basque terrorists in Spain. When you have these farreaching changes. there should have been hearings. There is adequate recourse under existing law for the Secretary of State to grant waivers for those providing material support to terrorist organizations. as she did recently for 9.300 ethnic Karen refugees to come out of Thailand. I move to table the Leahy amendment and ask for the yeas and nays.
