While I support this bill, as I said during the discussion of the Bahrain bill- how many more single state free-trade bills will be introduced?

May I also add that Oman was not mentioned on the list of single state free-trade bills that was set out in response to that original question. Why one Middle East Bill that included and excluded certain nations was not introduced as opposed to all these individual bills is beyond me.

Look in the legislation introduction thread to see. And who cares if they all come at once, it's fine that way, there's nothing wrong. Besides Hawk's the one who got Jordan split off from Israel. If that wasn't we wouldn't have another bill in the line.

[MasterJedi]

And this will be probably the only time I will support Hawk's amendment.

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open up the vote on this amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

3. This Agreement requires a commitment on the part of Oman to make progress towards becoming a fully functioning liberal democracy, with respect for political freedoms and civil rights. This will be monitored by the Secretary of State in accordance with the terms of the Foreign Policy Review Act. Should he determine that Oman is regressing on its commitment, and then he shall either (depending on the severity of the regress):

a. Request that the Senate introduce an appropriate tariff either on:

i. Selected Omani goods
ii. All Omani goods

b. Request that the Senate revoke the Agreement with Bahrain in its entirety

[MasterJedi]

Aye, probably one of the few times I'll do this as well.

[MasterJedi]

This amendment has passed.

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open up the final vote on this bill. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
