CHAIRMAN KOLBE'S STATEMENT ON THE SCHIFF AMENDMENT
July 16th, 2004 - -
Washington, D.C. - Foreign Operations Appropriation Subcommittee
Chairman Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) issued the following statement on the Schiff
Amendment.
`Yesterday during the late night deliberations on the FY05 Foreign
Operations bill, the House adopted by voice vote an amendment by
Representative Adam Schiff. I allowed this because I determined that
the amendment had no practical effect and simply restates current law
prohibiting the use of federal fundsto lobby Congress. As the chair
of pending conference committee on the Foreign Operations bill, I will
insist this meaningless language be removed in conference.'
