I rise in support of this amendment to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to Pakistan. West Africa. and Nicaragua. I commend the manager of the bill. the distinguished Senator from Minnesota. for introducing this amendment which will strengthen the humanitarian assistance provisions of the foreign assistance authorization. and assure that people problems are the first priority of our foreign aid dollars. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. I have closely followed the growing humanitarian needs in each of these areas. and recent hearings as well as subcommittee studies document the need for the additional funds provided in this amendment. I would like to review briefly the requirements in each area.
