To restrict the availability of funds for the International Committee of the Red Cross.

SA 162. Mr. FITZGERALD (for himself, Mrs. Clinton, and Mrs. Dole) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the joint resolution H.J. Res. 2, making further continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 2003, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

On page 335, line 10, before the period at the end of the line insert the following: “Provided further, That funds appropriated under this heading may be made available for a headquarters contribution to the International Committee of the Red Cross only if the Secretary of State determines (and so reports to the appropriate committees of Congress) that the Magen David Adom Society of Israel is not being denied participation in the activities of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement”.
