Support free trade. Could we couple this with some sort of infrastructure aid to support Iraqi government institutions and strengthen the state?

I wouldn't mind, write up a proposal and I'll probably accept it as friendly.

The DoEA supports this bill conditional on the inclusion of Senator PS's amendment.

Not that anybody cares about the SoEA Sad

Friendly Amendment:

3. The Senate apportions $6 billion, divided evenly over five years, to the government of Iraq to serve as non-military aid for the reconstruction of institutional services. Funding may at any time be withheld by the Senate if said aid is improperly utilized.

I'll accept it as friendly, I want to see what other Senators think about it though too.

I'm not thrilled about throwing money in that direction....but it's not something that would make me vote against the bill. The sum of $6 billion is acceptable, I suppose.

Free Trade is the best form of aid we can provide a developing economy. Approve of the Bill, as amended.

This bill has enough votes to pass. Senators now have 24 hours to change their votes.
