has nothing to do with war.

I rise today to introduce the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act. I believe this legislation will fundamentally change America’s policy toward Pakistan, and I hope that over time it will fundamentally change America’s relationship with the people of Pakistan as well. I especially want to thank my colleague Senator Lugar for his partnership in crafting this bill and his ongoing leadership on this issue.
