The Clerk read as follows:

Amendment offered by Mr. BURTON of Indiana: In paragraph (3) of section 3417(d) (relating to prohibition on assistance to countries

that consistently oppose the United States

position in the United Nations General Assembly), insert after the matter preceding

subparagraph (A) the following new subparagraph (and redesignate subsequent subparagraphs accordingly):

(A) chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (relating to development

assistance),

Mr. BURTON of Indiana (during the

reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that the amendment be

considered as read and printed in the

RECORD.

The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection

to the request of the gentleman from

Indiana?

There was no objection.

MODIFICATION TO AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR.

BURTON OF INDIANA

Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to modify the amendment.

The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will report the amendment, as modified.

The Clerk read as follows:

Amendment, as modified, offered by Mr.

BURTON of Indiana: In lieu of the matter proposed in the amendment, insert the following: In paragraph (3) of section 3417(d) (relating to prohibition on assistance to countries

that consistently opposed the United States

position in the United Nations General Assembly), insert after the matter after subparagraph (C) the following new subparagraph:

(D) chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (relating to development

assistance), except that such term shall not

include assistance under chapter 1 of part I

of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 in the

case of countries that voted in the United

Nations General Assembly on less than 50

percent of the recorded plenary votes.

The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection

to the request of the gentleman from

Indiana?

Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Chairman, reserving the right to object, we have

had a chance to look at the perfecting

language, and we have no objection, so

I withdraw my reservation of objection.

The CHAIRMAN. Without objection,

the amendment will be considered

modified.

There was no objection.

Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Chairman, this amendment just brings into

accord with the rest of the bill the requirement that countries getting developmental assistance from the United States should vote with the United

States in the United Nations at least 25

percent of the time. We think it is a

good amendment, it is consistent with

the bill, and we urge everyone to vote

for it.

Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Chairman, we

have had a chance to take a look at the

bill, and have had discussions with the

gentleman from Indiana. We think he

is on the right track, and we have no

objections to the amendment.

The CHAIRMAN. The question is on

the amendment, as modified, offered by

the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. BURTON].

The amendment, as modified, was

agreed to.
