State Department Rebuffs Schumer

The U.S. State Department and its Cultural Heritage Center have rebuffed Senator Schumer's effort to stop the repatriation of the property of Iraqi Jews to the same country that deported them.  In 2009, the State Department and its Cultural Heritage Center also imposed import restrictions on Chinese cultural goods, despite prior assurances to the Senator to the contrary.

Will Senator Schumer press the State Department on the matter or let it drop as was done with import restrictions on Chinese cultural artifacts?
