Madam Speaker, I would like to let the member comment further on his amendment.
There is a long and shameful history of despots and dictators using the Olympic Games as propaganda to the rest of the world and as a domestic policy distraction to oppressed peoples. He mentioned the 1936 Olympics, the Olympics of shame. Sadly, that is not the only time a despotic regime used the Olympics for this purpose. As we saw shortly after the Sochi Olympics, the site of those games was a staging ground for the expansion and invasion launched from Russia.
I ask the member to comment on his amendment and the importance of not letting the Olympics be used as propaganda by dictatorships.
