  • Kolbe: Schiff Amendment "Meaningless"

    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.'
