Just as a note, when I said "the amendment has passed" I meant to say "amendments"


I forgot that two were under consideration, when I posted that.

The current text doesn't include the first amendment I proposed.

I know, I never said the text was finished in constructing. Only so many posts appear when you in posting mode, you know. Tongue I just copied it from the first page:

I don't need a sponsor for the amendment, I am sponsoring it. Tongue

I need the bill's sponsor to response to it as friendly or unfriendly.

Oh, well. I would not oppose any amendments. I'm too busy with party stuff now.

That is probably a statment you will regret having made later on. Call it a hunch.

Quote from: Secretary of External Affairs Ben on April 25, 2012, 05:17:07 PM
In terms of the government accepting/rejecting funds, I'd include a clause saying that if review shows the government misappropriating the money, then the aid be withdrawn immediately.  In terms of overseeing the distribution, I'd keep in close contact with the US Embassy, and have the SoEA reports include use of funds.

Does that help?
I don't see how that deals with the issue of setting up a program that does things Afghan leaders may not approve of.

Yes, that Ben fellow went and pulled as fast one on us. Damn If I had my committee plan finished, I would grill him until he became charcoal.

Yeah, sorry about that (it wasn't intentional Yank).  Honestly, there isn't a lot we can do to make the Afghan government support this, other than telling them that if they refuse to implement the programs, they don't get the money.  The benefits are great, but so are the risks.

It was purely strategic. Tongue

Is the language at present satisfactory as to provide that kind of failsafe or is another amendment necessary?

Amendment has passed.


Is there anyway the bill could be amended to your satisfaction, Mr. President? Or is a unsalvageable?
