the nays are forty one with two voting present the amendment is adopted several port the motion to mario diaz lart of florida to recommit the bill h r twenty six thirty four to the committee on financial services with instructions to report the same back to the house forthwith with the following amendment page sixteen line to strike and paid sixteen line six strike the first period and all that follows and insert and page sixteen after line six insert the following seven the government of which does not have business interests with iran house come to order jealous floridas recognize a five minute second the speaker this motion to recommit is frankly very simple all basically says are the countries that have business relationships with iran are not eligible to be considered under this debt relief members will take the heat and we let the conversation from the floor program now the underlying bill in front of us today has a very noble goal amounts bigger it's to work comprehensively to ensure that poor countries that have heavy international debt are able to relieve these debt these debts through certain responsible actions but the question is should we separate these goals these noble goals from our broader foreign policy interests the iranian regime we all know has a has a very active a program to acquire weapons of mass destruction and therefore it makes it one of the most dangerous regimes in the entire world in addition madam speaker as we heard just recently just last week from general petraeus we are increasingly concerned by the iranian terrorist regimes efforts on behalf of terrorist elements in iraq and elsewhere the lives of our troops are at stake and any country that assists iran economically should not benefit from the bill in front of us today our country obviously united states does not have diplomatic or financial ties to iran and i don't think it's unreasonable to expect that countries that choose to participate in our debt relief program should shed whatever economic ties they currently have with that terrorist regime and if they don't have them now if they don't have those ties now they clearly should not develop them as long as they want or expect that rel from us through this program let us again that send the right message today madam speaker americans are very generous and responsible with in regard to the treatment of countries us that that us great debt but we are also extremely concerned with the very dangerous actors abroad around this world so that's why man a speaker i respectfully asked to pass this motion to recommit today and make sure that our friends abroad wording cover the government of iraq i would yield if someone would tell me that now they may not be eligible for dept of we follow that we give them a lot of money i don't think we wanted to them but would someone tell me if this include the government of iraq as currently constituted i would yield for a response one country in the future i will check back my time that we'll with that i have taken back my time i'm trying to get an honest answer we are setting policy here not just for this week ed we are saying here that if you do business with the here's the here's a response that may have been already had the right to offer this in a way in which we could debate it they didn't choose to do that they queue to do this limited fashion so it does look to me like you have a problem here that does the government  iraq have business interests with iran i know there are close ties between the governments of iraq and iran there's interchangeable money i think this is a pretty sketchy way to go forward i'm not sure that there are any other countries i think iraq may be one of the few so gentleman is telling me that the government of iraq has no business interests in iran but i'm no i'm asking the question does the government we've got a whole lot of the concerns with this bill i'm sorry the gentleman does not seem to understand the rules i can yield i'm giving him a lot more of my time
