Follow up: do you have any plan of action for helping Syrian refugees in Jordan?

The Committee is now discussing this legislation:
Quote from: Senator Ben on March 22, 2013, 04:35:53 PM
A Bill to Provide Aid to Jordan and Syrian Refugees

1.  $200 million shall be appropriated to the Government of Jordan for ensuring a minimum quality of life at Syrian refugee camps in Jordan.
2.  The Department of State shall oversee the deliverance of those funds, with further oversight to be provided by the Atlasian Embassy at the direction of the Secretary of State.
Mr. Secretary, feel free to comment.

I'm inclined to agree, personally.  I typed this bill up in about a minute to get it in line.  It'll have to be thoroughly amended.

Is it your desire to have this in the emergency slot?

It's mine, if I can make the call.  This is an urgent issue.

I don't think we could amend the rules in time for this anyway. But yes, Ben could alter the text before I put it into the emergency slot. Though the flip side of that is that unless he does it fast (like in three minutes), I won't be able to bring it to the floor until tomorrow morning.

I think I beat the time restriction.

Chairman Ben, do you at present have two members on this committee? If so, I wnat it to get moving again at the earliest possible opportunity. I will see about getting a third but there is a hang up with a vacancy on the Judiciary.

I think I have two members, but only Nappy and I have posted since the start of the session and he has resigned.

Would this resolution expire?  Is this a blanket approval for anything any President wants to do in the future?  What are the restrictions here?

Why is North Korea such a concern?  They're capabilities don't appear to be anywhere near ours, or any of our allies; why do we need to give blanket approval for 18 months to the President?  Isn't this an abdication of our responsibilities as the Senate?

The Resolution has passed, 2-1.  The Committee recommends its passage by the full Senate.

At what point do you think military intervention is justified?  Does Syria's use of chemical weapons not provide enough cause?

Because I thought I was waiting for an answer to a question I hadn't asked Tongue

Mr. Secretary, can you fill us in on the status of the arrested diplomat?

Yank, there's nothing happening.  No legislation as far as I can tell, and no major events.

Dear God, Yank, a bill introduced in April and not passed yet?  Holy Moly.

Senators, let's talk about this bill.  Yank, defend it.

Introduced for Sjoycefla. It is my hope that leaving these combined will help expedite the process and reduce the content of the queue. However, I do have concerns that the concerns of one, may scuttle the many if they remain so.
