STOP U.S. ARMS SALES TO SAUDI ARABIA
(Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I am proud to introduce, today, H.R.
643, a bipartisan bill to stop all U.S. arms sales and military aid to
Saudi Arabia.
Madam Speaker, it has been over 100 days since the Government of
Saudi Arabia brutally murdered journalist and U.S. resident Jamal
Khoshoggi at the Saudi consulate in Turkey.
The Senate unanimously condemned the Saudi Government for this
heinous crime, but the House has yet to do so. It is past time that the
House clearly and unambiguously declares that there is a price to pay
for such barbarity. Let it begin by ending all U.S. arms sales and
military aid to the Saudi Government.
I urge all my colleagues to join me and cosponsor H.R. 643.
