Today, Chairman Joe Wilson and Ranking Member Steve Cohen released a statement calling on Georgian leadership to abandon the Russian-style "foreign agent" bill.

"It is appalling to see Georgia's government so brazenly attack the will of its people and its relationship with the United States and the EU. The United States has been a committed triend to Georgia, providing concrete security assistance, political support, and billions of dollars of tinancial aid. Russia, by contrast, has only brought misery, destruction, and military occupation. "Comparisons to FARA or other Western foreign influence monitoring mechanisms is deliberate disinformation that parrot tired Kremlin talking points. The United States remains a friend to the Georgian people's democratic and Euro-Atlantic aspirations, and we will continue to support those principles. We urge the Georgian authorities to divert from this destructive path." - is menionted in the statement.
