WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) and the Ranking Member of the SFRC Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights and Global Women’s Issues, applauded committee passage of several significant pieces of bipartisan legislation to strengthen U.S. alliances, promote rule of law and democratic institutions, and address corruption, violence, and human rights abuses in the Western Hemisphere:
