Reforms, if passed, would diminish u. S. Influence on the i. M. F. , would reduce our ability to control the decisions of the i. M. F. , would move the funds from one in which we have Veto Authority to one we have no Veto Authority. Astoastonishingly, madam presid, this bill would expand russias influence and control over the i. M. F. Let me repeat that. A bill that is being ostensibly introduced to punish russia for their act of war and act of aggression, would expand russias influence over the i. M. F. And decrease the United States of americas influence. Madam president , i agree with my friend from alabama, who suggested moments ago this is through the looking glass. This makes no sense. I would challenge any of my friends here to stand up here and explain why a sensible response to what russia has done is to expand russias influence in the i. M. F.

I want to the recognize your aefrts for peace between israel and the palestinians. You are helping to establish the foundation of what we hope will be a lasting agreement and i hope there is sufficient political will to take meaningful steps toward a twostate solution. I must say that the arab leagues proclamation the other day that they will never recognize israel is a jewish state is disheartening. In the meantime, i am glad that the budget requesting fully funds aid to israel. And finally here in our own hemisphere, im deeply concerned by the venian governments crack down on Peaceful Protesters and attack on press freedoms. In haiti, im pleased that u. S. Assistance has accelerated and thank chairman royce for expanting our committees oversight in this regard. I look forward to the secretarys testimony. Thank you, mr. Ingle. This afternoon were
